Introduction to Hybrid Meetings

Allowing staff to combine working in the office and working remotely has brought a lot of flexibility into our lives. But it has also added complexity to the way we work and communicate with each other. Make sure you’re ready to go for hybrid meetings in your organisation with this 1-hour course.

In this course we will look at some of the key considerations of hybrid meetings and why they are an important part of our workplace capabilities now and in the future. We will explore some of the common challenges that we might face when participating in and facilitating blended/hybrid meetings and we will offer some tried and tested tools, strategies and approaches to support you in delivering your own successful hybrid meetings.

This course aims to…

• Highlight some of the specific challenges of conducting good hybrid meetings
• Introduce strategies and tools for delivering successful hybrid meetings
• Provide an opportunity for you to reflect on the actions you can take in your context to improve hybrid meeting delivery

We are passionate about the changes that are coming about due to the changing nature of how we work. The technical challenges of running blended environments well, will mean that humans will have to think, prepare, and collaborate more to make blended meetings effective for all participants, whether they are in a room with colleagues or joining in remotely. This is all an opportunity. It is inevitable. We expect the reality will be that over the next couple of years the change in culture will be bumpy. We want to make that smoother. We want equality and parity of esteem. We want to live and work within the resources of 1 planet. We want that now… and meantime this shift is part of that jigsaw.
