CoS Leadership Development session | discussion 2 by Angela Ryan https://padlet.com/angelaryan3/jt5dwvywu8f3np3w en-us 2022-07-19 05:41:53 UTC 2022-07-21 01:03:25 UTC hello@padlet.com INSTRUCTIONS angelaryan3 https://padlet.com/angelaryan3/jt5dwvywu8f3np3w/wish/2245947557 In your groups discuss:

• What are the communication and engagement strategies that you use now in your team, and what adjustments do they need for hybrid work?

• How can you best replicate the informal communication of the office virtually?

• Don't forget about zoom fatigue - too much time in video meetings can be exhausting.  What are the different tools you can use for communication and engagement? ]]> 2022-07-19 05:43:04 UTC https://padlet.com/angelaryan3/jt5dwvywu8f3np3w/wish/2245947557 Communication & Engagement Strategies angelaryan3 https://padlet.com/angelaryan3/jt5dwvywu8f3np3w/wish/2245947862

Setting up a reoccurring morning catch up first thing in the morning (can be short just 10 - 15 minutes)


Microsoft Teams chats open and used consistently through the day - as if we're sitting side by side in the office

Reduce carers guilt - plan work activities and coverage early in the week (on a Monday) in the event of school/childcare closures.

In a hybrid meeting, regularly asking people online for their view or checking if they have raised their hand. 

Simulating the office - sitting on a zoom or teams meeting all afternoon and only turning your camera/mic on to ask a question as if you were popping over to a persons desk. 

Meeting over phone to break up teams or zoom.

Use One Note 

Don't forget emails - useful for disseminating information which doesn't need discussion

Distinction between home/work - can tend to work longer hours at home

Work/life balance

Ensuring good communication occurs within the team without the need to add "catch-up" meetings which might not always be the best use of time

Being able to continue relationships with team members

Missing the corridor conversations 

Openness to provide feedback or raise concerns although this is encouraged and one-on-one chats occur

Productivity - and perception of productivity output

Challenge training new team members

Takes longer time to communicate with others via Teams

Fear of missing out (FOMO) on things when others are in the office

Concerns on productivity are more around team members and their perception of their productivity

Managing expectations of clients expecting us to be in-person

Feeling that we were more connected when online vs in the office due to being spread across multiple buildings

If one team member is working remotely we all join our meeting online
