Thrive with a Hybrid Workplace: Step-by-Step Guidance from the Experts
MAXIMIZE GROWTH & MINIMIZE RISK
In Thrive With a Hybrid Workplace , Julie Kantor, a business psychologist, and Felice Ekelman, an employment attorney, deliver expert guidance to maximize growth and minimize risk in a hybrid workplace. With hybrid work, leaders need to ensure that employees are engaged, remote work is productive, and hybrid teams are collaborating, all within legal guidelines.
A hybrid workplace requires organizations and leaders to address issues that can be overlooked or avoided in a full-time in-office work arrangement. Leadership by 'walking down the hall' is no longer enough. Leadership is now to be approached with intentionality.
Kantor and Ekelman identify the many challenges that require intentionality including new issues to become aware of and old issues that will need to be addressed differently in the hybrid workplace.
This will begin with organizations defining a flexible approach to remote work that aligns with values and business needs. Then leaders can be empowered to make decisions regarding how, where and when work is done. These decisions include and impact achieving success, facilitating engagement, attracting, and retaining talent, clarifying roles and responsibilities, maximizing equity, minimizing bias, and establishing a culture in which employees can thrive.
For those companies who seek to be known as a "best in class" employer, Thrive With a Hybrid Workplace is a must-read for leadership and is a resource leaders will turn to again and again for encouragement and advice.

"Thrive With a Hybrid Workplace" is a timely and informative book that provides a comprehensive guide to navigating the opportunities and challenges of remote and hybrid work environments.
I love how the authors tackle both the legal and leadership aspects of hybrid workplaces and offer real-life tips and tools to overcome challenges.
They also include practical advice for leaders on how to build trust and accountability within remote teams and tips for creating a sense of community and belonging in a remote workforce... which is so important.
Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone in a leadership role who wants to thrive in a hybrid workplace!

Had the pleasure of attending one of the author’s’ presentations at a continuing legal ed seminar in MN and promptly purchased the book in follow up. A very practical guide to considerations of a hybrid work framework. Many takeaways to employ immediately and others to consider longer term. Helps to articulate in a more tangible manner the idea of workplace culture and engagement, and the challenges posed by hybrid work along with different approaches to try in creating or maintaining connectivity while working in a distributed manner.

A thorough and thoughtful book that covers practically every detail on how to create a work environment where everyone can thrive regardless of their preferred work status- hybrid, remote, office first or any other permutation. There is practical sound advice here for leaders on how to navigate this more complex “world of work” landscape including a deep dive into the 7 Cs of Leadership - culture, collaboration, compassion , communication, etc.
