The hybrid work model means more flexibility and autonomy for all and translates to different experiences for every team member. Balancing flexibility and connection while sustaining innovation, productivity, and effectiveness presents leaders with new challenges. As every agency and client returns to the office at different times, both virtual and hybrid work — including meetings — will be part of life for the foreseeable future. To be a successful leader in a hybrid environment, a new approach is required. Magnify your empathy as a leader, while mastering the balance of synchronous and asynchronous work and communication by examining hybrid work through three essential lenses. During the workshop, you will work through exercises on your own and with other participants to reflect and share experiences that will surface the potential wins, risks, and pitfalls of a hybrid environment while developing increased empathy for the variations of the hybrid experience. These exercises can be used with your team later to create your own customized hybrid workplace road map. Topics covered: - The art and science of inspiring great hybrid teams - a new application for meeting and doing great work together. - How to connect team member from anywhere by leveraging roles, relationships, responsibilities, and routines. - Understanding variations of the hybrid experience to balance flexibility without losing productivity and effectiveness [MORE INFO HERE]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Programs [The Campaign Enlightenment Program]( [The Campaign Enlightenment Program]( [MORE INFO HERE]( Agencies have exemplified their commitment to change over the last year by participating in DE&I programs and educational initiatives.
