The term "hybrid work" brings up different things for different people and organizations. But even we at Inclusion in Progress can agree: hybrid work in its current iteration is fundamentally broken because it still focuses so heavily on where work gets done — rather than how to make it work better — no matter where people are physically located.

Which is why on this episode of Inclusion in Progress, we're diving into one of the 12 distributed work models we've identified while working with remote and hybrid teams.

This episode breaks down the Virtual-First with Planned In-Office Time — which balances the best of remote autonomy and in-person collaboration.

We cover:

• How to shift the focus from absenteeism to overall productivity
• Recommendations for purposefully designing the Virtual-First with Planned In-Office Time Model for your teams
• The challenges of implementing this distributed work model and how to solve them

We'll be breaking down the rest of all of these work models on future episodes, so subscribe to the podcast to make sure you don't miss out!

And if you're a People or HR leader who wants a more detailed breakdown of the 12 distributed work models (and an easy framework to decide which works best for your organization)...
