With the rise of Remote Working and Hybrid Working, there is no longer the default assumption that all collaborators will be physically co-located in the same space. This changes the nature in which we work, and which we organise work, which will overall change the organisational Culture
Crucially, Hybrid meetings become necessary with flexible working. Remote workers are not second-class citizens, but as Remote Working is Here to Stay, the most equitable form of meeting is to Treat hybrid meetings as remote-first.
Poor implementations of hybrid working strengthens presenteeism - in this sense, good Hybrid working promotes diversity and inclusion by enabling more participation.
Office spaces therefore should be seen as places where physical collaboration can be maximised, for those situations where it is most suitable. Consider alternative communications before booking a meeting and establish whether interactions can be made asynchronous, do not assume synchronous by default.
