In our last blog we looked at hybrid teams and the opportunity they offer for us to get the best of both out of extended working from home and occasional visits to the office.<\/p>\n
Here will add another perspective for thinking about what work we should do in the office and what work we should do remotely \u2013 synchronous and asynchronous work<\/p>\n
Asynchronous work<\/strong> is work that we can do individually without needing to be available at the same time and the same place as our colleagues. When someone sends us an email that we can respond to in our own time, \u00a0we have the option to edit a shared document or do our own personal work which is then sent on to someone else, these are all tasks that can be delivered asynchronously.<\/p>\n There is no value in doing these pieces of work collectively and we can normally achieve additional productivity by doing these individually when working from home. We should never be doing this work in the office if we have limited time there.<\/p>\n Synchronous work<\/strong> requires us to be available at the same time, if not in the same place as our colleagues. This is collaborative work and can be delivered either face to face or through virtual meetings.<\/p>\n As you start to implement hybrid team working you need to have discussions with your colleagues on how you will organize and schedule work. Make sure you organise deliver the best of both through thoughtful hybrid working.<\/p>\n It will also be interesting to see how the role of the office changes when it’s no longer a place for people to sit and do work, but instead a place designed to encourage collaboration and relationship building<\/p>\n Find out more about our hybrid teams<\/a> and effective meetings training<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In our last blog we looked at hybrid teams and the opportunity they offer for us to get the best […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":25703,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-27410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","type-blog","training-virtual-teams"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
