Companies with a preference that workers be in the office all or most of the time might have to pay more to recruit and retain them.
HubSpot’s strategy includes three Es: enablement, experimentation, empathy:
- enablement involves equipping managers and workers with tools and support for hybrid, such as templates for 1:1 meetings and connectivity suggestions;
- experimentation includes virtual events, so that employees from different teams can get to know each other;
- empathy includes special support for caregivers and employees of color, including training and encouraging managers to talk about their own experiences.
