Editor's Notes

Happy weekend, and shoutout to everyone who joined the Technical.ly newsroom's Slack chat today on future of work trends. Some of the big themes we discussed:

  • Culture continues to be an important consideration as teams plan where they'll work in the future.
  • Virtual events can work and bring community, but not all IRL versions translate well. And people will be more selective about what they attend post-pandemic.
  • "Hybrid" will probably apply to more than just in-office work — hybrid travel, hybrid events, etc.
  • People have more agency in deciding what their community is nowadays. It's not restricted to place.
  • Creativity is a big part of remote onboarding — such as holding a socially distanced BBQ for new employees.

On that point about community, we want to hear: How is your community better or worse than it was in February 2020? Get more details on that Q, then answer it yourself (and get a free Guy Raz book in the process) by filling out this form.
