Hybrid Strategy

Our Hybrid Work Strategy Development service is designed to support your organization in reaping the benefits of a flexible work environment.

Hybrid Strategy means building a standardized hybrid delivery model and developing a consistent hybrid work culture for everyone, regardless of where they work. Not to be confused with Hybrid Tactics, which focus on initiatives, policies and rules about how, when and where people should work.

We develop buy-in from the senior leadership team and we focus on improving engagement, collaboration and productivity.

Hybrid Culture

We consult at all levels of the organization to identify the company’s culture challenges and root causes. We are specifically focused on hybrid culture and how your organization’s culture is changing in the wake of hybrid.

Our commitment is to empower every organization we collaborate with to become completely self-sufficient. We equip them with the necessary roadmap and knowledge to independently nurture a sustainable hybrid culture on their own.

Hybrid Management Training

A big part of developing a hybrid strategy and adapting your culture to hybrid is about training your managers and empowering them to be effective leaders of cohesive, distributed teams.

Our comprehensive program covers the three key challenge areas for hybrid work managers: People Management, Collaboration and Team Culture.

It can be used as a self-service eLearning experience or we can support its roll-out along the way with our consulting service, as required. Your managers will be fully equipped to navigate the increased responsibilities, challenges and opportunities of the hybrid work landscape.

What our clients say

CultureGene's practical and deeply insightful work unlocking the commercial value of company culture for us has been invaluable; I'd thoroughly recommend them to other investors looking to add value to their portfolio companies right now.

Albert van der Wal

General Partner, Committed Capital

I was skeptical at first - how much of a difference can a consultancy really make, right? But CultureGene proved me wrong in the best possible way. They really dug deep into understanding our company's unique vibe and challenges. No one-size-fits-all advice here, just solutions tailored to our needs. They helped us create a culture that reflects who we are and amplifies our values.

Mike Papageorge

CEO ISF Watchkeeper

We didn't just want a band-aid solution for our cultural issues; we wanted a fundamental shift and CultureGene provided us with exactly that. Their approach is thorough, insightful, and most importantly, effective. They were instrumental in helping us establish a culture that attracts and retains the best talent. The Runway East culture is something I am incredibly proud of.

Natasha Guerra

CEO Runway East

The positive change since we've started working with CultureGene has been remarkable. We've seen a huge improvement in communication and collaboration across teams. There's a renewed energy in the office and you now get a genuine sense of camaraderie that wasn't there before. And the best part? Our productivity has taken off.

Ivalio Jordanov

Partner 7% VC

CultureGene’s process allowed us to really understand the gap between the culture we had and the culture we wanted to build. Defining the expected behaviors for our values was a game changer for how live our culture. We've also gotten an immediate ROI by adapting our recruitment process, specifically focusing on hiring for values-fit. I can't recommend the team highly enough.

John Butler

MD ITEnergy

Their intervention wasn't just a one-off event, but an ongoing journey. They've provided us with the road map, support, and tools we needed to develop and continuously evolve our culture. The key to the CultureGene process, I believe, is the framework for embedding the values into the company.
