Some employees want to work remotely, others want to work in the office, and many want the choice and flexibility of both. That’s the hybrid workplace in its simplest form. Trello has spent decades establishing the tools of hybrid teams and navigating its challenges and solutions. To make your hybrid workplace less tedious and exhausting, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Rather, you just need the infrastructure, resources, and lessons of our experience and expertise.

6. Maintain Psychological Safety At Work
Psychological safety was coined by Harvard Business School student Amy Edmondson in her book, The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth. It is, “a belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or mistakes,” says Edmonson. In workplaces, this means that employees are encouraged to speak freely and engage authentically. There is a mutual level of trust and respect among colleagues.
Learn to incorporate psychological safety as the gold standard for remote and hybrid teams. Gain a better understanding of how open, clear, and respectful communication is paramount among distributed employees.
