Creating a culture of belonging in the hybrid workplace

On-Demand
1 hour

The future of work is hybrid – but what does this mean when it comes to workplace culture? We’ve partnered with strategy consulting firm Gagen MacDonald to bring you actionable ways to build a culture of belonging in a hybrid world. How can you use a powerful tool – technology – to bridge culture gaps and establish a culture of inclusivity?

It's no secret that workplace culture took a hit in 2020, with employees feeling less connected to their colleagues and their companies. As we move into recovery and future planning, enterprises are looking to implement strategies for thriving hybrid cultures. Technology will be key in making sure these new cultures survive.

Though it often takes a crisis for leaders to remember, a strong culture is a business’s most powerful, precious asset. It’s the engine of productivity, the backbone of growth and, often, the difference between a plan that worked on paper and a plan that works in real life.
