”Thrive With a Hybrid Workplace” with Felice Ekelman & Julie Kantor

Julie Kantor and Felice Ekelman share advice for leaders who want a productive, happy hybrid workplace

Kenning partner Cathy Boeckmann talks with Julie Kantor, a business psychologist, and Felice Ekelman, an employment attorney, about their new book, Thrive With a Hybrid Workplace: Step-by-Step Guidance from the Experts.

In this conversation, Julie and Felice describe what makes their book unique: a dual focus on both the “institutional” challenges of flexible work, like setting fair and clear policies, and the need to face up to fundamental leadership imperatives like ensuring good communication and fostering connection across a hybrid workforce.

Cathy invites Julie and Felice to share their perspectives on what the best organizations and leaders are doing right, which include:

• Inviting diverse groups of employees to give input on policies, which can be revisited and changed if things aren’t working
• Anchoring the approach to hybrid work in the mission and supporting the kinds of work that need to get done to achieve that mission
• Being intentional about creating the “interpersonal glue” that helps workers be productive and engaged.
