What does it take to build and nurture a hybrid working environment? What are the challenges of working with and coordinating teams across the globe? How can we foster a sense of belonging and inclusion between on-site and remote team members? What are the challenges to hiring for and leading a hybrid team?

During the pandemic, teams switched to working together remotely. As employees return to work, many companies are consciously offering a hybrid work environment, allowing for on-site and remote work. With globalization leading to faster and more reliable access to internet, hybrid development environments are becoming more feasible with each passing year. Yet they present their own unique challenges.

Engage with other industry professionals on the topic of hybrid working arrangements—including hiring, team leadership, office spaces, company events, IT solutions, and more. Challenge the status quo of working a 9-to-5 office job with this collaborative and innovative approach development.

Takeaway

Attendees will expand their knowledge on hybrid work solutions through a collaborative discussion. Join veterans and new team leaders alike to contemplate the challenges and celebrate the successes of this powerful workplace solution.

Intended Audience

This is for team leaders (of large or small teams) interested in dissecting how to create and support remote or hybrid working environments. Whether the team is already remote or hybrid or considering the change, this roundtable is open to all. Regardless of roundtable topic, both hybrid and remote teams welcome as both types share many topics.
