A year ago, most of us with office jobs were all virtual, all the time. And as much as that may have felt disconnected, tiring, or unsatisfying, at least we were all in the same boat.
Well, that ship has sailed for many of us. As our workplaces return to the next normal, we need to tackle working in hybrid teams and groups.

When everyone’s in the same room or everyone’s remote, facilitating a meeting can be more inclusive and straightforward. But when you’re facilitating a hybrid meeting where you have some remote participants while others are physically present together, you need additional strategies to keep everyone engaged and the meeting on track.
