Managing a hybrid team successfully and equitably requires adjustments to your management style. Leaders must ensure that in-office employees don’t receive favorable treatment or opportunities, and that employees working remotely don’t feel left out or disconnected from the team. Explore the leadership changes to implement now so you can encourage employee engagement and ensure equity in a hybrid environment. Plus, look at how your organization should shift its performance measures and definitions of success so all employees are treated fairly, regardless of where they work.

Learning Objectives
• Identify hybrid teams are different from purely in-person teams
• Identify the behaviors that can lead to unconscious bias that favors in-office employees
• Describe the behaviors of an employee that is at risk for disengaging
