In-out, In-out: Hybrid ....like a dance but out of step?

IN-OFFICE 2 DAYS…OUT 2 DAYS… together 1 day……

or just shake it all about 💃and see what happens?

Does the ‘new normal’ in fact feel like a Hybrid office-version of the Hokey Cokey?

What happens when it feels like a peculiar dance?

Many teams are seeking a unified yet flexible approach: Simple to adopt and understand but meeting multiple needs 🎯.

So, if finding the fresh routine is a communication conundrum, here are some hints 💡 to help:

Firstly, it's unlikely anyone's being deliberately awkward....

...after all, there are two sides to an employment contract not allowing for full-time working from home after a dog 🐕 joined the household during lockdown...

...and for many, working-from-home has meant autonomy and confidence-building but an absence of learning-through-absorbing 🌱 what’s around them. 

Is it 'them and us'?

..No! But returning from restrictions raises unknowns. If appearing difficult, someone's usually scared 😱.....of an unreal fear, based on an assumption. 

What CAN we do?

1. For overcoming assumptions and fighting fears, share concerns! 💬 Chatter matters! -  It’s not business, it’s being human.

2. For reassuring direction, even if answers are unknown, have a simple plan. Best results require ownership and clear expectations... whilst filtering out red flag 🚩assumptions. 

👉 It's about replacing the risk of a daft dance, discomfort and resistance - with easy-to-join team learning. 

And for more ideas just 📩 get in touch, explaining where you're at. 

Wishing you less IN-OUT shaking you all about, and more helpful hybrid moves!
