    Anyone put together tips + tricks for employees who return to working in office? People coming from home with peace and quiet to an office with others are definitely going to get shock and I also can't have them booking conference rooms for everything. Curious if anyone has put something together to help their teams?

    Hi everyone! 👋 I’m Nicole, I recently joined Officely as Marketing Lead. We compiled Q1 trends and insights from thousands of hybrid offices and shared the first edition of our quarterly Hybrid Highlights. I’m sure no one’s surprised to see that Thursday is the most popular in-office day! If you’d like to share with your peers, you can do so from our LinkedIn post here. Hope you all have a great long weekend.

    Heya! We are having more teams come into the office which is so great! Wondering if anyone has had to tackle the half virtual half in person meeting situation and how that may have been addressed?

    What do you do for back up support in the event your office/workplace manager(s) are out sick? I am looking to set up some sort of vendor or plan for my team so that if they are out sick for a week, I can have coverage and not try to manage day to day in offices when I am remote + I travel A LOT and not always available.

    Slack found that 72% of employees across six countries prefer a hybrid model. But how can you show your employees that returning to the office isn’t a change of scenery? A good way to start is to offer Office Extras to create a welcoming office environment that makes your employees feel supported and appreciated. Check out our latest blog on the most popular Office Extras and how to add them in Officely!

    Hi all, we’re kicking off a new program to highlight some of our hybrid work community members every month 🙂 To start us off, I’d like to introduce Christine Ng, Head of Talent and Media at Quantum Motion. Managing hardware tech teams who need to use labs during social distancing was tricky, Christine shared her insights to re-opening Quantum Motion’s offices with us last week. Check it out! 💡Interested in being featured? Send me a message! https://getofficely99841.ac-page.com/christine_ng_interview

    Hi all! For any US smaller (under 100) start up type companies - I'm trying to make sure our benefit offering is competitive. If you offer a WFH stipend for team members, I'd be very grateful if you could share the highlights of your policy! (ie $X/month or $X/annual or you can submit % of internet, one time stipend for office furniture purchase, etc). Thanks in advance and TGIF!

    I find I'm not 100% consistent in where I work best, sometimes it's in the office and sometimes it's at home! So being able to choose where I work makes a huge difference to my productivity (and balances out with work/life too) ☺️

    I love that head-down work can be performed away from colleagues (who can be distractions) but for team brainstorming and general camaraderie, the office is there as an option for us.

    I love going into the office but I definitely get less done when I am in. We have the option for people to do whatever they want and I choose to come in twice a week.

    Hey everyone 👋 How’s your day going? As you may have noticed I’ve recently joined to help build this community and I wanted to share my vision of what I hope it will become. We want Hybrid Heroes to be the place you come to learn and share tips and tricks about how to make hybrid work, work. We’ve all been thrown into this huge change in how our companies fundamentally operate. We’re expected to know how to encourage office attendance, create a vibrant hybrid culture and make everyone feel included, even if they are working from home. In reality, we are all learning how to operate this system as we go. We want to be here to help you connect with other people facing the same challenges and help each other overcome them 🚀 As part of this vision, moving forward, we will be introducing: • Tips and tricks on Hybrid Working • Local channels for helpful Office Management tips • Discussions on employee wellbeing and office best practices • A mentoring program for those who recently started a position in Office Management (please let me know if you’d like to be a mentee or mentor) • Anonymous questions (privately DM me with all those questions you don’t want to ask publicly and I will post them on your behalf) • Officely feature demos, to give you an even better Officely experience But ultimately this community is for you, so if you have any other ideas, feel free to let me know 🤗
