Hybrid approach worked great at Anthem. 2 or 3 days a week in office on days that the team chose together, and the rest of the week at home. Some heavy coding weeks, you could skip the in office if the team agreed. But Friday's usually included lunch and learn's and were a pretty light day for the team as we spend a lot of time in meetings and talking about what we accomplished and intended to accomplish.
Those kinds of days were a great part of the week and boosted productivity as well as enhanced our cohesion.

- disgruntledphd2 6y agoI think in some ways, much of the benefits of the pandemic will be captured by distributed, rather than remote teams. I kinda like Stripe's idea that remote people are attached to a hub, because it's important that people have some ownership around projects and a cultural context within the company. To be honest though, a lot of the benefits of offices are through social connections of weak-ties, and I have a hard time seeing that replicated in a remote fashion. I think it would be great, I'm just not sure how to manage it.
