Forget In-person vs. Remote

Meet in the Metaverse

The pandemic was one of the greatest challenges to management teams, businesses and organizations in modern history. Most traditional workspaces had no idea how to equip their teams for a hybrid professional environment or how to maintain culture, productivity and engagement or ensure accountability. As a result, some organizations used management tactics that were too heavy-handed, ultimately choking out its oxygen.

In some cases and in response to being placed under strict supervision, these employees defaulted to doing the bare minimum required in their role while they sought other positions.

In turn, they eroded company culture by losing once-efficient teams to the digital fray. Stagnating in confusion, burnout and ambivalence, team members lost sight of company goals that once excited them and spurred them toward success.
