Why Your Culture Was Never Your Building

Why Your Culture Was Never Your Building

This month I wanted to encourage a discussion around culture and allyship as we think about returning to work and a hybrid work environment.

While remote working opens up so many exciting possibilities for how people get work done, it also of course opens up new avenues of potential challenges in inclusion, participation, and allyship in general.

This particular series – Your Brain at Work – actually has several great episodes so I had a hard time choosing just one. If you like this one, feel free to check out their others as well:

Podcast - NeuroLeadership Institute

EPISODE 1: Welcome Back: How the World Should Return to the Office - NeuroLeadership Institute

EPISODE 4: Friends and Foes: The Neuroscience of In-Group and Out-Group with Harvard Professor Dr. Jason Mitchell - NeuroLeadership Institute

Suggested discussion questions (if you need something to start the conversation):

  • If you’ve been working remotely during the pandemic - what worries you when you think about returning to work? Or working in a hybrid environment with some people in the office and others not?

  • We’ve heard in the past about the link between flexibility and the success of parents returning to the workplace. Do you see hybrid work discussions improving flexibility? Or challenging some aspects of flexibility?
