What are the key HR challenges in a hybrid work? How to overcome them?
Challenge 1: Equity, psychological safety and inclusion
➡️Leaders should role model working from home part of the time to send the message that remote work is considered just as valuable as in-person work.
➡️HR leaders should track promotion rates and examine whether there’s a disparity between remote and in-office employees.
Challenge 2: Burnout
➡️Others have established Zoom-free Fridays to battle video fatigue, scheduled meeting-free time for focused work and used tools for informal coffee chats and personal interactions.
Challenge 3: Innovation
➡️Many studies have shown that virtual collaboration has the capacity to foster innovation, due in part to increased anonymity and the use of technology to brainstorm.
Conclusions:
Lucy Helms, former CHRO of Starbucks: “Leading hybrid teams is harder, and the HR team’s next important task is equipping managers to meet that challenge.”
