WHAT SKILLS DO TEAM MEMBERS NEED FOR THE HYBRID WORKING ERA?

Hybrid Working Skills for Team Members

Hybrid working for team members

Hybrid working training for Team Members

A course tailored specifically for team members in your organisation.

Team Members now have less face-to-face time with their managers and teammates, meaning they have had to learn how to work much more independently, potentially for the first time. Continuing to understand and develop the skills that team members need to thrive in a hybrid working world will be key to any organisation’s success.

  • Getting Hybrid Working systems and processes right.
    From making sure that team members are clear about the team’s purpose, objectives and measures for success to checking that they have access to the resources that they need to work from any location. Understanding and improving the nuts and bolts of hybrid working will help each team member be an effective part of a faster, better engine.
  • Building Better Relationships when Hybrid Working.
    Team members will need to find new ways of building and maintaining effective relationships for hybrid working. It’s even easier to end up working in silos and harder to trust and empower each other to get the job done when we’re not meeting face to face. Forming bonds with customers, suppliers, teams and managers help keep projects and careers on track.
  • How to Think Creatively and Innovate when Hybrid Working.
    We often imagine that innovation means smart people inventing valuable products or disruptive ideas that make them rich and famous. However, an innovative team simply drives success by adapting quickly to new challenges and thriving in unforeseen scenarios, just what we need in a hybrid working world.
  • How to Influence when Hybrid Working.
    A key skill for team members working in a hybrid world is being able to ask for, find and claim resources they may not have easy access to. The team will also need to influence behaviour, actions and thinking from a range of stakeholders to get results.
  • How to Build My Personal Brand when Hybrid Working.
    Most team members are going to be spending less time in the office than ever before, it’s likely that we’ll all be less visible to those who can support our career development. So, thinking about what you want to be known for at work, understanding how others see and experience you and actively building your personal brand is more important than ever.
  • Well-being and resilience for hybrid working.
    It’s important that team members have the skills needed for open conversations about resilience and wellbeing. If team members are generally open in what they are prepared to say to each other they will be able to establish and draw on supportive relationships. Being alert to their own and others' emotional reactions also helps them to respond adaptively to the changing situations that hybrid working world brings.

Team members have had to rapidly adapt and learn new skills as they have been forced to work more independently. Going forward into the new normal of hybrid working they now need to build on these new skills and be able to play their part in the success of their team no matter their workplace. Being willing to adapt and embrace new processes will be key. Nurturing relationships remotely and realising the importance of continuing to collaborate and communicate with colleagues and other stakeholders will help them build the resilience to succeed in a hybrid world and will be the key to the continued innovation and success of their teams.
