Managing a Hybrid Workplace

Overview
In March 2021, a report on the Work Trend Index by Microsoft said, “We’re on the brink of a disruption as great as last year’s sudden shift to remote work: the move to hybrid work - a blended model where some employees return to the workplace and others continue to work from home.”
And they were right, many organisations are now faced with Hybrid Workplaces as their new norm, with many leaders, trying to lead and manage, while in many cases, “starting from behind”.
