Hybrid work promises the best of both worlds, but it often delivers the worst if not managed carefully.
Proximity Bias
The tendency for leaders to favor people they see in person. Combat this by ensuring fully remote employees have equal access to opportunities and visibility.
Communication Gaps
Information often flows informally in the office. Make sure important decisions and updates are documented digitally so everyone is in the loop.
Technology Solutions for Hybrid Teams
GPS and geofenced attendance tracking helps manage hybrid schedules by tracking who's in-office and who's remote. Meanwhile, an AI HR Concierge chatbot ensures all employees — regardless of location — have 24/7 access to HR support and company policies.
Using 360-degree performance appraisals with multi-rater feedback helps combat proximity bias by collecting input from diverse sources, not just the manager who sees certain employees more often.
