Managing Teams in a Hybrid Environment

About this session

Countless articles and books provide expert advice for managing and leading teams. But what if some of your employees work in the office and others are scattered throughout the world?

How is it possible to keep everybody on the same page when they’re not in the same location?

Managing teams in a hybrid work environment doesn't come with an instruction manual, but Taruna Rai, Senior Director of IT, has found that fostering belonging is the best way to ensure her team is aligned and productive—regardless of where they choose to work.

Taruna will share her experience making the hybrid model work for her team and some best practices for managing and maximizing productivity in the emerging hybrid era.

In this chat, you’ll learn:

  • What effective communication and constructive feedback look like
  • Ways to foster belonging and assess employee well-being
  • How to plan a thoughtful onboarding process
