b'ENGAGE 2023 | HOW & WHERE WE WORKWhat Does This Mean?We should never bring our people into the office for a meeting that could have happened virtually. Interest in meetings happening IRL continues to fall steadily, and that may be because we arent doing it right.If we make people come into the office to do the same thing they could do virtually, it can be deflating and feel like a waste of time.Leaders who up their meeting agenda game, including activities, speakers, and experiences that are worth coming in for, will leave their people feeling more energized and motivated to succeed. A strong company culture is essential, regardless of where your employees get their work done.Focusing on building a culture that is independent of physical office space is the key to success, regardless of your work model. If your company culture revolves around in-person huddles and group activities,it may be difficult to maintain that sense of community in a hybrid or remote model. Instead, a culture centered around a Shared Mission, a sense of belonging, and passion for the work, will allow your team to thrive regardless of their location. 14'
