After transitioning from traditional, office-based operations to fully remote work over the past few months, many businesses will soon find themselves in yet another new state: hybrid collocated and distributed teams. Blending remote and in-person interactions poses a new set of challenges to technology, processes, and business structures, often requiring specifically adapted solutions. Information and guidance abound for remote collaboration and the physical safety aspects of returning to the office but thriving in a hybrid state require targeted planning. Join Sean McLean, Sarah Tetlow, and Belle Walker as they highlight the unique challenges posed by a hybrid model and offer insights into how companies can adapt to yet another "new normal".
