Managing Teams in a Hybrid Workplace

Hybrid- and remote working have become the new normal as the world slowly recovers from the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been observed that employees prefer the hybrid work model, as it gives them flexibility and autonomy. This edition of our Editor's Pick provides valuable insights that can help you successfully manage your teams in the hybrid workplace.

We recently launched a poll that asked you which behavior/s you felt were most difficult since the pandemic. The result shows that over one-third of the respondents felt it was more difficult for them to stay relaxed when facing pressure. The ability to stay calm and relaxed under pressure is one of the traits that shape our adaptability and resilience. The result indicates that the pandemic period is more taxing than others and has caused fatigue in the workforce.

What can organizations do to recover from the impact of the pandemic? How can you turn the tide of the Great Resignation that has been rampant across many industries around the world?

NEW WHITEPAPER: How the Pandemic Changed our Adaptability and Resilience

It is clear that the pandemic has impacted the way we work. From remote working, many have slowly transitioned into this hybrid work model.

Our latest whitepaper unpacks how the trauma caused by COVID-19 has altered our adaptability and resilience and shares five valuable insights that individuals and organizations can use to help heal and recover from the situation to begin the Great Retention.

LISTEN TO OUR EXPERTS: #SHLSmartTeams

In the virtual workspace, building a connection with people is not the same. We now mostly only see faces on the screen—sometimes that is not even the case if people decide to turn off their camera. Many employees are feeling isolated and lonely which is leading to declining mental health and burnout. Hence, it is now more important than ever to build a cohesive culture where people trust each other and engage with each other. This will not only help fight the barriers to connection but also help retain employees.

In our CHRO Chat, Teri Ellison and Erin Crask discuss how you and your organization can build a culture that promotes trust, engagement, and collaboration.?
