“What Are The ‘Six Must Haves’ To #MakeMeetingsWork In The New Hybrid Work Place?”
As leaders we want our people to be engaged, motivated, feel valued and do vibrant work.
We also want them to be present whether remotely and on-line, or physically in the office space, and be able to step-up to the plate in the new hybrid way of working which so many of us have had to embrace over the past eighteen months.
How then can we structure meetings so more of the workforce feel they can contribute and share their ideas, from wherever and however they are joining-in?
