MY company does hybrid remote/on-site, and one of the best ways to mitigate issues with off-site communication is part-time work from home. Since on-site workers spend some of their time as remote workers, everyone has a good idea of what's required to empower remote developers.
It's not always roses and rainbows, but it definitely helps.
- joe563323 10y agoHybrid remote/on-site method should only be used as a migration path for the remote-first method from on-site, else it does not work well.
- nnq 10y agoWHY?! What parent poster describes above seems like "heaven" to me. Some people can be "true nomads", others can spend 50% time in office, 50% working from home, everybody can be happy and find "what works for him/her". I hate both working in-office full-time AND working fully remote. But a mix sounds awesome, I always feel energized when working one day from one place, another day from another, and I also enjoy having the meetings in-person...
- joe563323 10y ago> others can spend 50% time in office, 50% working from home What this really mean is 50 % teams in a company are remote and 50 % are onsite. Remote working is binary.
- mikekchar 10y agoThe company I work for does hybrid remote/onsite as well. I'm remote and I actually think that having onsite people take some remote days is almost required to get things working. After people take a couple of days remote they suddenly understand the issues a lot better. Also for me, not always roses and rainbows. But that mutual understanding is really helpful.
