Hybrid work is a spectrum — and there are more than two options than just fully remote and fully in-office. 

Which is why on this episode of Inclusion in Progress, we’re diving into one of the 12 distributed work models we’ve identified over the past decade of working with remote and hybrid teams. 

This episode breaks down the Asynchronous-First + Planned In-Office Time Model — which balances asynchronous or async work with intentional in-office time — balancing employees’ desire for flexibility with curated networking and team-building opportunities to improve employee engagement. 

We cover:

  • How the async work model looks like in practice and why in-office time still matters

  • What to consider before choosing this async + in-office model for your teams

  • The challenges of implementing this distributed work model and how to solve them

We’ll be breaking down the rest of all of these work models on future episodes, so subscribe to the podcast to make sure you don’t miss out!

And if you’re a People or HR leader who wants a more detailed breakdown of the 12 distributed work models (and an easy framework to decide which works best for your organization)...
