Hybrid Meetings that Work for Everyone
Avoiding the Risk of Proximity Bias
Date: TBD
About this Event
The Hybrid workplace is bringing new challenges, especially for remote team members and those who manage hybrid teams. Collaboration, which we used to take for granted in the office, has become more challenging, especially when people choose to be off-camera. Further, questions remain about whether the camera should be used at all.
These concerns are brought into sharper focus for managers when we look through the lenses of career development and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I). As a result, more questions arise about how to avoid unintentional micro-aggressions and proximity bias.
The corporate world is at an inflection point, and it has an opportunity to establish new norms and reset meeting culture. What used to work needs to be examined and replaced by new, more intentional means of collaborating regardless of where people sit.
This webinar sets out to address these issues and answer this question: What can individual contributors and managers do to overcome the challenges of hybrid meetings?
