Fireside Conversation Series: Building an equitable environment for hybrid work

As the world shifts to hybrid work environments, distributed teams with remote and in-person positions, there will be two critical shifts in organizational settings. First, there will be more variability in work arrangements with respect to remote vs. in-person, working times, and time zones. Ensuring equity in the evaluation and participation of workers across these arrangements will be key to maximizing productivity and wellbeing in distributed teams. Second, there will be fewer in person and spontaneous meetings, which could hamper communication and understanding of implicit workplace culture, norms, priorities, and relations. Surfacing this information will be key to increase worker engagement and sense of belonging. We will discuss these issues from both an algorithmic and organizational science perspective, as a combination of automated decision-making tools and social science theories may be needed to develop effective systems for hybrid work.
