Avoid making the biggest mistake of thinking that collaboration can only happen when everyone is in the same work environment. Companies will need to keep an open mind & rethink what kind of work requires collaboration.

In this episode of The Shape of Work podcast, Somya Kalani, HR Manager at The Address, shares ideas for helping a hybrid workforce collaborate and interact. 

Somya started off her career as a freelancer for 2 years post which she joined N.R. Doshi & Partners as a Human Resources Executive. Currently, she is responsible for end-to-end HR activities, from recruitment to exit formalities, attendance, leave management, and payroll.
