How can L&D help leadership build a remote-first mindset? Helping their teams work together while apart?

The hybrid work model is here to stay and leaders will face the continuing challenge of managing these teams. The L&D role of being connectors and advocates of people has never been more important.

It's not always easy to manage and develop hybrid teams. For some managers, this requires a different mindset and a paradigm shift when considering what the workplace looks like in 2022. So how can we help prepare and support managers as the workplace shifts to this hybrid model?

In this chat, many tips were shared on how L&D can support leaders on this journey. Be sure to download the chat messages and gain access to our “Chat blast” of ideas at the end of the conversation.

Here are some further resources to support you in your efforts to bring leadership and remote teams together.

Creating a Workplace Mentoring Program

What does it take to sustain and nurture a workplace mentoring program and prepare for challenges that will come our way?

To create a program both potential mentors and mentees will benefit from, we need to put a twist on the creation process. Humans, being humans it's not simply a matter of placing person "A" with person "B". It's about building connections that matter.

And just as important, if a mentoring program is poorly handled there can be detrimental effects. Research from the Journal of Vocational Behavior has found that poor mentoring experiences can lead to lasting psychological effects. Yikes!
