How can you follow a decision you didn't vote for? Two key factors can make it easier: feeling that your voice is valued and trusting the decision-making process. Inclusive decision making should not be mistaken for achieving consensus. You can have clearly defined authority where everyone knows who is responsible for which decision and how their input is sought. For example, you can gather information and opinions on upcoming decisions through voting, surveys, or by going around the table and letting everyone contribute in a meeting. Ensure that everyone has access to information to provide input in the best way. Read more…

Included in the hybrid party

Discuss how to make your hybrid social gatherings as inclusive as possible: consider having in-person attendees sit in separate rooms so everyone joins on equal terms, ensure everyone focuses on the same screen and camera, and choose a shared screen-based activity such as a quiz or a simple game.

Inclusion with asynchronous communication channels

Make a list of your synchronous channels (communication that happens at the same time) and asynchronous channels (communication that can happen at different times). Go through them and find ways to turn synchronous channels into asynchronous ones to include everyone in a hybrid setup. For example, could the morning meeting be replaced with a morning write-up? Discuss: which channels should be synchronous, and which should be asynchronous?

Meeting goals create focus

Create focus by starting the meeting with jointly formulating a clear goal for the meeting. It is good to write the goal on a board or something similar where everyone can see it during the meeting. Encourage the participants to speak up if they feel that the goal is unclear.
