Features of a hybrid meeting
Hybrid meetings nowadays take place in many different areas of life, including the working environment. Conferences in which individual employees join in virtually have become an integral part of Workplace 4.0. Hybrid conferences can bring numerous advantages, but also challenges that you as an employer need to navigate.
Hybrid: meaning of the term
The term „hybrid“ is used in different areas of life. Originating in biology, where it refers to the crossing of different species or varieties, the term „hybrid“ has found wide-ranging application in various other contexts:
- In engineering, we speak of hybrid systems when an element combines different technologies, such as a hybrid car that is equipped with both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor.
- In the corporate world, on the other hand, the term „hybrid“ stands for work and meeting models that combine both face-to-face and online elements .
Hybrid technologies make it possible to combine the best of both worlds: On the one hand, the efficiency and reach of digital technologies and, on the other, the immediacy and personal connection of direct contact. The importance of the hybrid therefore lies in its ability to overcome boundaries and respond adaptively to the needs of an increasingly networked and dynamic world.
Challenges of a hybrid meeting
Having a hybrid meeting can present a company with numerous different challenges. One of the biggest difficulties is ensuring seamless integration of virtual and physical forms of interaction so that all participants can participate equally regardless of their location.
Technical challenges include ensuring a stable internet connection, high-quality audio systems and camera systems as well as the compatibility of various modules. Data protection aspects – in particular with regard to the use of communication platforms and the storage of conversation content, also require careful planning and implementation.
Last but not least, corporate cultures may need to be adapted to foster a culture of inclusion that caters to both remote workers and office employees. These challenges require careful strategic planning, extensive resources and a corporate culture that promotes lifelong learning.
