Mastering Hybrid Meetings: Blending Remote and Onsite Teams

In today’s global workplace, it’s unlikely that we will go back to 100% in-person meetings. Now that the “genie is out of the bottle” on the convenience and low-cost option of virtual attendance, we will also continue to have at least some participants joining remotely. But how do you make sure that all participants, both live and remote, stay engaged and feel like they are all in the same meeting? This course examines the typical pitfalls that occur in hybrid meetings and explores four variations on the hybrid meeting. Throughout, participants will discover practical and imaginative tools including specific ground rules, engagement strategies, and participation tracking that will keep everyone actively involved.
