ONLINE Presentation: Hybrid Hell! Survival tips to work as a team in this split world of in person and virtual working
Post the pandemic, many of the team are back in the office, but there are still people working remotely on different days, hence we have a challenge. How do we engage the people in the room and those virtual in an equal way? How do we get the ‘best of’ in person and ‘virtual’? It’s called ‘Hybrid working’ and if not done properly can be ‘hell’ for teams and disrupt the gains made when all were remote.
In this talk, Sam will cover the art and science of how to facilitate and engage people in the hybrid office set up using his skills and experience from training hundreds of people in person before the pandemic and thousands during it as a Certified Scrum Trainer with the Scrum Alliance.
