Last week, I had the opportunity to join a panel with Seema Bhansali, Esq., TJ Mercer, Kelli Henderson and moderated by Emily McCrary-Ruiz-Esparza to discuss how HR leaders explore balancing personalized employee benefits with company performance, designing flexible policies, and fostering connectivity in hybrid teams. Here are my top takeaways from our discussion: - Hybrid work models require intentionality to maintain company culture and facilitate relationship building, such as through virtual and in-person connection events. - Tracking productivity and performance in a hybrid/remote environment is challenging - metrics should focus on outcomes rather than just time spent, and policies should emphasize engagement and contribution rather than surveillance. - Career development and mentorship programs need to be redesigned for a distributed workforce, with a focus on defining core skills, providing structured mentorship, and encouraging sponsorship of employees. - Flexibility around in-office requirements is important, with a focus on outcomes and work getting done rather than mandating a set number of days in the office. Accommodating individual employee needs and circumstances is key. - Maintaining strong communication, providing data/rationale for policies, and having empathetic conversations with employees are critical when implementing hybrid work models and addressing any resistance.

Embracing flexibility isn't just a trendy perk – it's a strategic move that can significantly boost productivity and foster a happier, more engaged workforce. In this article, Kate Lister, president of consulting firm Global Workplace Analytics states "while leaders are 'fretting' over whether employees should work remotely, in-office or some combination of the two, they should instead be asking themselves, ‘How can we empower our people to do their best work wherever they do it?’." #futureofwork #flexiblework #leadershipdevelopment
