YOU CAN’T SPELL HYBRID WITHOUT HR: COMPANY CULTURE IN THE NEW AGE OF WORK

YOU CAN’T SPELL HYBRID WITHOUT HR: COMPANY CULTURE IN THE NEW AGE OF WORK

HR professionals share ideas for keeping culture alive no matter where employees
are.

By Pamela DeLoatch — December 9, 2021

When Carli Malone started her new job in October 2021, she also entered a new
style of employment: hybrid work. The global cybersecurity company she joined,
Tanium, is based on the West Coast but has an office near Malone’s home in
Raleigh, North Carolina. Although many Tanium employees worked remotely even
before the pandemic, Malone’s role as a workplace coordinator requires her to be
in the office at least some of the time to support the local staff. 

During Malone’s first week on the job, her manager flew from Los Angeles to
Raleigh for a three-day in-person onboarding to help make her feel welcome and
supported, and she also heard from new colleagues near and far. “Employees have
reached out to meet in person, and those that may not be in the office called to
meet on Zoom,” she says.

According to a recent McKinsey survey, as companies reopen their offices, nine
out of 10 will be combining remote and onsite work in a hybrid model, giving
employees like Malone flexibility to spend some of their time in the office and
some of their time working from home. As companies navigate the logistics of
who’s in the office when and for how long, human resources professionals and
managers face a crucial challenge: How to maintain a strong, cohesive company
culture when employees aren’t in the same physical space at any given time.

“As we’re reopening many of our offices, we have to realize that everyone is
going to be in a different place and understand the challenges of each
employee,” says Nicolina Marzicola, global head of HR, Commercial Organization
and HR Operations.

When people work together in-person day in and day out, they build relationships
just by sitting next to each other at all-company meetings or joining co-workers
for a walk to get coffee. Those bonds help solidify a company’s culture — a key
advantage in a competitive job market — and they’re a lot more difficult to form
from a distance. 

Adapting to these changes, while also uniting a diverse, dispersed workforce
behind a shared purpose requires new strategies and a thoughtful approach. Here
are some insights from human resources professionals working through these
challenges now.


EXPLAIN AND REINFORCE THE DESIRED CULTURE THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION

Even without effort, a workplace culture will develop on its own. But it might
not be a positive one or one that supports an organization’s broader goals —
particularly when it’s developing across disparate teams who aren’t all in the
same place at the same time.

David Friedman, founder and CEO of CultureWise, which advises companies on how
to build high-performing cultures, says that in order to create a strong culture
that benefits employees, the organization, customers, and other stakeholders,
leaders must know and clearly articulate the company’s culture to employees. But
this isn’t just listing a set of values — they need to define the behaviors that
show what culture looks like in practice.

Adapting to the world of hybrid, while also uniting a diverse, dispersed
workforce behind a shared purpose, requires new strategies and a thoughtful
approach.

“Values are abstract,” he says. “Behaviors are actions people do, such as honor
commitments, practice blameless problem solving, or be a fanatic about response
time."


One way to help encourage culture-aligned behaviors is to create
organizationwide rituals that infuse them into day-to-day work. "Take the
fundamental behaviors that define your culture, then focus on one a week,” he
suggests. “At every meeting that week, the first agenda item is that
fundamental. If it's delivering legendary service, then discuss, what does that
mean?"


MAKE THE OFFICE AN ATTRACTIVE PLACE TO BE

When employees come to the office in a hybrid arrangement, their purpose is
different than it was when in-person was the norm, Marzicola says. For example,
after getting used to a no-traffic commute from the bedroom to the home office
desk, many employees no longer want to spend valuable time getting to and from
the office only to sit at their desks and do work they could do at home.

AND ON SCREEN.

 

Getting employees to value the in-office experience requires adapting it to
offer benefits they can’t get remotely, including providing more dedicated space
for collaboration and resources that make their work more productive and
efficient, like high-powered PCs, office printers, and advanced conferencing
technology. HP recently introduced HP Presence, a suite of conferencing and
collaboration solutions to upgrade the hybrid meeting experience, as well as
Room for Zoom, a collaboration that offers kits for modular video conferencing
spaces designed to bridge the gap between in-person and remote employees. 

“You’re not coming to sit at a desk from nine to five and not interact with
anyone,” Marzicola says. “We have to stop and think about the reason you would
come into the office. Who do you need to meet with, and for how long? What
technology or other resources onsite are required?" 

Answering these questions, she says, helps ensure that time spent at the office
is meaningful and appealing to employees.


OFFER A SUPPORTIVE, ONGOING ONBOARDING EXPERIENCE

Companies must make sure new employees feel they belong — something that may be
hard to do when an employee has never met their manager in person or stepped
inside the office. When new employees quickly feel part of an organization
through a thorough onboarding program, they become proficient faster and are
more likely to stay. In a hybrid environment, helping employees build that sense
of belonging also means expanding the idea of “onboarding” beyond the first few
days on the job. After Malone’s initial three-day in-person onboarding with her
manager, for example, the two continue to have weekly one-on-ones to stay
connected.

> “When we were together, we could get away with not being intentional. When we
> are remote, we can’t.”
> 
> —David Friedman, founder and CEO of CultureWise

Deb Balsano, director of people operations for Colonial Pipeline, says managers
should consider touching base with new employees every day for the first two
weeks. “This helps the new employee who doesn’t want to bother anyone but
doesn’t know the resources for some of the basic parts of the job,” she says.

A daily check-in for 15 to 20 minutes gives a new employee a chance to ask those
questions and get any updates they need to help them know they’re on the right
path. While this is a good practice for any new hire, it’s critical for
employees who don’t have easy access to other team members in an office and for
younger employees who may be starting their careers in hybrid settings.


CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONNECTION

The hybrid model also requires more intention around helping employees interact
and form connections with each other. “How do new people meet others? You have
to plan Zoom calls. You have to force an activity to take place when you’re not
physically together,” Friedman says. 

Since not all employees may have the same opportunities to bump into each other
during the course of their day, managers should look for ways to bring them
together. For new employees, managers could pair them with mentors from
different parts of the organization to help employees feel connected beyond the
teams they work with directly. In meetings, team leaders can make a point of
asking remote attendees to weigh in on a discussion instead of waiting for them
to speak up. 

“When we were together, we could get away with not being intentional,” Friedman
says. “When we are remote, we can’t.”

For employees like Malone, that focus on being intentional and responsive to
hybrid employees’ evolving needs makes a huge difference. After a little more
than two months on the job, she says she feels at home in her hybrid role. She
feels connected with her colleagues — virtual and on-site employees use Slack
channels to communicate about everything from work projects to pets — and she
enjoys the combination of autonomy plus easy access to her manager when needed.

“Hybrid work truly increases my productivity and improves my work-life balance,”
she says. “I’ve had a great employee experience.”
