One of my concerns is 'hybrid' meetings as I see it going back to the people not in the room basically being excluded from the parts of the conversation but the solution is getting people to use tech properly not forcing people in to the same physical space.
At our place, the solution is: if anyone is remote everyone attends as if they are remote.

We used to do the same even for (non-video) calls, 4 people in the office on a conference phone and a couple of people dialled in and it is easy for the people not in the room to be marginalised.

So they all do it from a desk rather than in a meeting room?

we're going to be doing the same. Makes sense because it eliminates the rush for meeting rooms and stops whoever's remote having less input that those in the room.

Likely to counter distance bias?

As someone with a 200mile commute I am very much against being forced back to the office more than 1 day a week but they are currently pushing for 2 or 3 days a week in the office which I am doing my best to resist.
One of my concerns is 'hybrid' meetings as I see it going back to the people not in the room basically being excluded from the parts of the conversation but the solution is getting people to use tech properly not forcing people in to the same physical space.
Also the concern raised above, am being encouraged to go back to get face time with people but know I am on a different childcare/commitments schedule from others so a high chance we won't want to be in the office the same days anyway.
