Overview and Courses
In today’s business environment, hybrid work models are commonplace and can serve to attract and retain employees. Successful models require a strong group culture to keep organizations running smoothly and productively. For many organizations, hybrid models represent a significant shift in how work gets done. As such, managers and leaders need to rethink what it means to lead in this new environment. Certainly some of the leadership approaches that are used in fully in-person groups or in fully virtual groups still apply, but hybrid models also create a number of unique leadership opportunities and challenges. Key success factors include creating an inclusive hybrid work environment and effective collaboration processes, as well as implementing strategic and deliberate communication norms.
In this certificate program, you will examine a variety of hybrid work models and hybrid workgroup scenarios. You’ll have the opportunity to explore the interconnectedness of culture and productivity in hybrid teams and identify best practices for launching a hybrid team. By the end of the program, you will have discovered new ways to confidently manage hybrid teams for high performance.
The courses in this certificate program are required to be completed in the order that they appear.
Course list
Uniting a workgroup to function optimally while some employees report in person and others are virtual or remote isn't exactly new, but this hybrid format — the adoption of which was accelerated by the pandemic — has become a mainstay in today's workplace. Managers and executives, therefore, need to redesign their team leadership models and work processes for a hybrid future.
In this course, you will examine many different types of hybrid work arrangements. You will define what a hybrid team is and assess the current state of your organization: How well is it functioning? Where is there room for improvement in communication, process, and norms? After identifying a desired state for your organization, you will select the most beneficial hybrid model for your team, explore the implications of various hybrid arrangements, and prepare to share your recommendations for your workgroup.
By the completion of the course, you'll come away with emerging best practices from Cornell research to make your hybrid workgroup as effective as it can possibly be.
Culture and productivity are deeply intertwined. Studies show that successful experiences in a workgroup scenario can have a positive impact on a person's satisfaction with life outside of work. This element of well-being is known to reduce turnover and increase productivity overall. The same is true for job satisfaction: Positive interactions result in job satisfaction, which leads to greater productivity for organizations.
In this course, you will examine recommended practices for yielding the best results from the critical intersection of culture and productivity in a hybrid workgroup. By applying these concepts in your hybrid workgroups, you can optimize your organization and foster productivity and culture in your teams.

You will then explore best practices for effectively launching a hybrid team and identify what is needed to foster high performance in hybrid teams. Finally, you will practice leadership techniques that will allow you to adapt to changing circumstances and sustain your hybrid team's high performance.
