Hybrid 2.0: The New Way of Working, Communicating, and Engaging Employees

Even though 2021 is almost over, executives will continue to face a fast-changing challenge: how to evolve and maintain effective communication between leaders and their teams.

This year taught us a lot — mostly through trial and error. Companies found their footing in an era of Zoom fatigue and team isolation. Leaders navigated the pressure to speak out on social issues.

• We call this Hybrid 1.0, and we're relieved to have survived it.

As we prepare for Hybrid 2.0, execs are diving deep into the new challenges we’ll need to anticipate and plan for as we sprint into 2022, like:

• The changing roles of executives

• How to retain talent after a Great Resignation

• The pandemic trends that are here to stay

• Where employee experience is still in need of innovation

Join us for a discussion on Hybrid 2.0 and how we get there with:

• Amplify Founder, Lars Schmidt

• Alphabet’s Moonshot Factory Head of People Products, AJ Thomas

• Axios' VP of People Ops, Claire Kennedy
