IIP147 Distributed Work Models: Unlocking A Global & Multicultural Workforce

IIP144 Distributed Work Models: When The Office Is An Option, Not A Mandate
In the span of a few short years, our understanding of how, when, and where work happens has shifted in ways that once seemed impossible. During this time, people were able to experiment with their personal work styles and preferences — what allows them to be more productive and efficient — and found that they could be just as effective outside of the office. But what if physical office spaces…
IIP143 Distributed Work Models: Virtual-First Doesn't Mean Office-Free — A Case for Planned In-Office Days
The term "hybrid work" brings up different things for different people and organizations. But even we at Inclusion in Progress can agree: hybrid work in its current iteration is fundamentally broken because it still focuses so heavily on where work gets done — rather than how to make it work better — no matter where people are physically located. Which is why on this episode of Inclusion in…
