How to stay visible in a Hybrid workplace
It seems everyone's talking about the Hybrid workplace and opinion is divided. For most of us, there are parts of it we like and parts that we don't - but some form of the Hybrid model seems set to stay.
There are a lot of positives to the Hybrid model including (generally) improved flexibility, employee satisfaction and productivity and a sense that we have more balance and control as we are better able and equipped to work from almost anywhere that has internet connectivity.
The rise of the Hybrid workplace means we get to work where we perform best - and it might be different places for different types of work.
With great positives also come great challenges. Challenges that are grounded in relationships and the way others work.
When we're not in the office we tend to 'miss out' on things - missed conversations, missed invitations, missed meetings. We miss out on all the things that come with observing others - our leaders, our managers, our peers, our teams, our stakeholders. We can miss out on professional development opportunities - learning from others by shadowing what they do and how they do it. Missed opportunities to influence and participate because there's little chance of being in the right place at the right time.
