LET'S TALK ABOUT Leading your Hybrid Team

Whilst the move to hybrid and more flexible working had already begun, the pandemic accelerated this trend and neither organisations, nor their people are the same as they were before we all locked down for that first time.

As restrictions eased, many businesses have evolved into a new era where employees now work more flexibly than ever before, be that in terms of locations and / or work patterns. Most organisations have worked through the initial hybrid working conversations with individuals and have a model in place.

New questions are now emerging: How do managers cater to these different individual preferences? How do they manage performance effectively when their team are disparate? How do they ensure hybrid meetings are effective? How should they recruit?

These leadership and management challenges always existed, however skills now need an upgrade to overcome these in a hybrid working world.

We also offer another, complimenting suite of sessions: Working in a Hybrid Team, supporting all levels of employees with the skills and behaviours they need to work effectively in a hybrid environment.

why come on the course?

If you’re leading a team based in different locations, or perhaps splitting their time between home & office, or who have varied work patterns, it can be challenging to maintain healthy team dynamics and collaboration, support individual professional development, manage performance and make sure everyone doesn’t become overwhelmed by yet another pointless video meeting.

Leading Your Hybrid Team offers a selection of topics that all support managers to focus on the shift in skillset needed to lead teams effectively in a hybrid working context. Each session gives practical tools, skills and techniques and is available as a stand-alone workshop, so you can choose to focus on the solutions your business needs, or alternatively, you can take all sessions as an in-depth programme.

What is it?

Whilst many businesses and their employees have now made the logistical shift to hybrid-working, the skills shift in how to lead in this new environment requires intentionality and focus. Leading Your Hybrid Team provides a suite of dramatically different, engaging and fun sessions addressing the key areas presenting challenges for managers and leaders in a hybrid working context. Choose one, several or all of the interactive sessions to gain practical skills, tools and techniques that enable thriving hybrid teams:
o Understanding & managing individual preferences in your Hybrid Team
o Having effective Hybrid Meetings
o Managing Performance in a Hybrid Team
o Managing Hybrid Team Dynamics
o Employee engagement in a Hybrid Working environment
o Recruiting for a Hybrid Working environment
o Onboarding in a Hybrid Working environment
o Managing Inclusion & Diversity in a Hybrid Working Environment

What will I do on the day?

The outcomes for each topic are different, but all Leading Your Hybrid Team sessions use drama-based learning to bring challenges to life, and explore solutions through discussion and practical activities.

All the topics in Leading Your Hybrid Team use drama-based learning to showcase different challenges and scenarios. By bringing these to life, we’re able to explore the impact of a variety of approaches and techniques, bringing a practical application to the theory. By supporting managers with the skills upgrade needed to lead in a hybrid-working context, your organisation can move forwards successfully, embracing the new ways of working.

You might also want to compliment the Leading Your Hybrid Team sessions with some from our Working In A Hybrid Team suite. It’s about what’s right for your business and the challenges you’re facing. If you’re not sure which sessions would suit your needs best, we’d be more than happy to discuss things further with you, so do get in touch!

Discussing and learning in the traditional ‘class-room’ is effective, but long-term memory is better stimulated by having an experience. Our approach using experiential and drama based methods delivers this and leads to more sustained learning.

Our training is observational and participative, using teams of actors to bring it to life. We recognise that taking part in role-play is not for everyone, so we offer observational training – this is where two of our acting team demonstrate scenes related to the course and delegates observe and comment on the behaviors. Where a business is more confident working with actors, we take this to the next level with participative training so delegates get to practice their newly learnt skills.

All our learners have full access to our ted learning HUB – our bespoke platform that enables all learners to continue the engagement with the trainer and actors, see latest case-studies and blogs from the ted learning team and engage with other learners, discussing their own challenges and successes.
