For many organisations, hybrid working is becoming a new normal. This comes with opportunities but also challenges, particularly when it comes to meetings. When some people are physically in a room together and others join virtually, the dynamic can become complex. It’s easy for people to fall into the traps of over- or under-contributing, leaving some of the team to feel like outsiders.

So, how can teams plan and facilitate hybrid meetings that deliver on outcomes in a productive and inclusive way?

In this workshop, participants will examine different types of hybrid meetings and discuss the specific setup required for each. They will explore facilitation techniques that are particularly suited to hybrid meetings – helping to balance the needs of remote and in-person attendees, ensuring fairness, and encouraging engagement and contribution from everyone. Finally, teams will share some challenging scenarios and discuss ways to approach these so that they feel prepared and ready for any eventuality!

Excellently designed, and facilitated. Less experienced participants would achieve huge value, and more experienced people would love it as a refresher.
