There’s a lot of mystery and myth out there about “moving to hybrid.” I don’t pretend to have the answers. But I do hear a lot of statements about the “constraints” and “problems with” working from hybrid and working from home. I challenge us to really think about our personal beliefs. Here are some questions and “why?” to consider in examining our paradigms about our shift to the new way of working…
- Are people working from home really doing less? Or more importantly, adding less value? Why?
- Do mentoring & development really have to be live face-to-face? Why?
- Do more visible hours really mean more engagement and getting more done? Why?
- Can the creativity fostered around tables and white boards not be duplicated with technology? Why?
- Do people working remotely feel less valued than those in the office? Why?
- Are people working remotely less likely to be promoted or rated well? Why?
- How are different affinity groups impacted differently by the location from which they do their work? Why?
These are just a few of the “truisms” to challenge in our thinking, rather than take as fact.
How do we know how we’re doing? What works and what doesn’t? What’s real & what’s not?
It all depends on our thinking, our creativity, our open-mindedness and our paradigms. Let’s pause and take the time to think about it.
Curious to know what you think …
