Is your company deciding on a new hybrid work policy and you’re unsure of where to work? Should you work from home or go back to the office?

Companies are now slowly allowing a portion of their workforce to work in the office. As our leaders bide their time, trying different return to office strategies, we have to decide what setup is best for our career and personal growth.

Though many of us still prefer the benefits of work from home, working in the office has its advantages, too.

Barbie Brewer, HR executive of Clickup, joins us on #WhatTheTeck to give you remote work management tips and teach you how to grow your business fast. As a long-time remote worker even before the pandemic, she understands perfectly remote work life and is prepared to help you get closer to your goals of success.

In the podcast, Barbie tells us the differences of building and maintaining a good relationship with coworkers in a hybrid work environment. Though it is nice to see your colleagues in the office and go out with them for lunch, some of them may prefer simple video calls. After all, video conferencing equipment has helped us keep in touch in these times. Depending on how you socialize, work from home or office work can work.

Connected to our adjusted social life, we discuss in the episode return to office considerations and the keys to making a successful hybrid work policy. At the heart of this is the welfare of workers, especially with how Barbie mentions that long commutes adversely affect mental health. Because of its long and tiring nature, commuting may have negative effects, especially with workers exposed in a pandemic.

If you choose to return to work or have workers who wish to go back to the office, consider your mental well-being and theirs! There’s more about remote work mental health in our video!

Barbie also says something absolutely golden in the episode: there’s brilliant talent across the world but there isn’t brilliant opportunity. Remote work has given our companies access to hire from across the globe but not all companies choose to tap into this talent-rich market. So if you want to know what makes a business successful, one of the ingredients is definitely resourcefulness.
