Hybrid work is the order of the day for many companies as they ponder their future. But what does hybrid work actually mean and how do you design it to work for both employees and the organization?
In this episode of Get Reworked, Jim Kalbach, chief evangelist at digital whiteboard company MURAL, talks about how the current moment is an inflection point for designing places where people actually want to work.
"I don't think it's a change in work that we've experienced during the pandemic," he said. "It's a change in lifestyle that we've experienced and because of that people kind of got a flavor of a different way of living and working. And I don't think they're ready to give that up."
Highlights of the conversation include:
- Why you have to be intentional about how you design hybrid and remote work.
- How to use small moments within meetings to create a positive culture.
- How user experience and design thinking can be used to create effective hybrid work experiences.
- The 5 P Framework for thinking about hybrid work, and why policy and practice should drive your approach.
- Why now is the time to reinvent how you engage with teams and embrace a playful mindset.
Plus, co-hosts Siobhan Fagan and Mike Prokopeak talk about the oeuvre of Nicolas Cage movies and how the journeyman Hollywood actor just might be the panacea for what ails the digital workplace. Listen in for more.
