Hybrid working is happening – Google searches for ‘hybrid work’ increased by 130% over the last year. So how do you address this challenge, adopt shared practices, when your team is working in many different ways?
In this article, Alanna Harrington, Senior Research Consultant at Talogy, explores the different areas where this culture challenge is presenting. Including ensuring fairness when establishing company policy on remote working. As well as a seeming disconnect between what senior leaders and employees want from working practices.
Alanna goes on to present some solutions to sustaining company culture.

As well as development programs tailored to the specific needs of the organization, the team and the individual.
