Remember in 2019 when working from home felt like going to bed without brushing your teeth as a kid? It felt efficient. It felt edgy. It felt like you were doing something special. Fast forward to 2021, and not brushing your teeth before bed has gone mainstream. Everyone's doing it. It's no longer edgy or cool. Hybrid work environments are part of our new normal and seem like they're going to stick around a little while. As a result, the question leaders are asking is no longer, "How can we work efficiently in a hybrid environment?" The question they're now asking is, "How can we build a healthy culture in a hybrid environment?"
