⦁  Navigating the combination of people in the office and people working remotely can make it difficult for people dialling in to feel included. This may impact their ability to contribute in the right way or indeed be effective. In this circumstance, technology is not the only aspect which needs to be considered. Small changes, like introducing D-shaped tables which fit flush against the wall have shown to improve inclusion and participation amongst remote workers. It’s a subtle design change but quite literally gives remote workers a spaceat the table.

If you can create a working environment that considers the remote first and supports them, it can have incredible benefits by enabling effective conversations that aren’t hindered by a lack of appropriate meeting spaces or the right technology.
