The future is Hybrid
However, a hybrid work environment is harder to lead
Leaders shouldn't think that the management style that worked pre-COVID will be
as effective in the flexible work future
One of the biggest threats of hybrid work is the second-class citizen
In a hybrid work environment remote workers:
- Struggle against communication sstructures optimized for the office
- Do not experience work or culture in the same way
- Do not develop the same work relationships
- Are often excluded from discussions and decision-making
- Need to be more vocal and work harder to be heard and recognized
- Miss out on the banter and informal communication
- Are excluded from the office tribal sub-culture
- Experience managers who don't know how to lead remote workers
With CultureGene you can overcome the second-class citizen threat, by building a remote-first hybrid work culture that is fulfilling, inclusive and equitable culture, where there are no advantages or disadvantages to working in an office.
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.

Integrate remote work best practices to succeed at hybrid work
To build a thriving remote-first hybrid work culture, it helps to understand how remote companies operate because, at any one time, a percentage of your people will be working remotely.
To ensure the people working remotely don’t feel like second-class citizens, you must integrate remote-first best practices into the company's DNA and treat remote working as the default way of working. It is vital to build a hybrid work culture where:
- Remote employees must feel as much a part of the team as those in the office.
- Everybody experiences the culture in the same way.
- The leadership team works (mostly) remote.
Remote work best practices
- Focus on communication
- Process-ize the business
- Ensure wellbeing
- Develop social connection
- Create documentation
- Transparency & trust
- Focus on results/output
- Be deliberate about culture
- Customize recruitment & onboarding processes
