Distributed workforces have had $to$ adapt very quickly $in$ the post$-$pandemic workplace. One $of$ the ways distributed workforces have adapted $isby$ adopting a hybrid workforce model. This type $of$ model comes with many benefits for the organization and its employees, but $it$ can also present new challenges for $HR.$ For example, when all employees are onsite $atan$ office location, Human Resources can plan onboarding sessions, networking events, etc. However, when employees are virtual, there can $be$ challenges $in$ creating meaningful opportunities $to$ develop relationships with their peers $orto$ experience the true culture $ofan$ organization.

$As$ organizations move $to$ adopt this type $of$ model, $HR$ can play a critical role $in$ helping $to$ ensure a successful and smooth transition. $In$ this discussion, you and your peers will consider some $of$ the challenges that $HR$ might face when assisting with such transitions and reflect $on$ how you personally feel about the idea $of$ working $in$ a hybrid workplace $in$ the future.

For your initial post, imagine that you are suddenly faced with having $to$ work from home $(or$ maybe you already $do!),$ and address the following:

What challenges would you personally need $to$ find solutions for? $(Think$ about your workspace, communication, equipment, job tasks, etc.$)$
