1. Create a clear in-office and work from home schedule
2. Organize as many meetings as you can on your in-office days
3. Set your limits and stick to them
4. Make your home office real nice
5. Keep it all light and flexible
An important tool in the hybrid workplace model is a shared calendar. Allow your team members access to your calendar so they can see what days you're in the office and what days you're working from home. You can also set "no meetings Mondays", or "face-to-face Fridays" to really optimize your productivity. It's also important for you to include all of your meetings in your calendar so you don't get double-booked—whether that's for in-person meetings or meetings on Zoom.
7. Communication is key
Don't be a house troll! Get out there and start making friends and memories with your colleagues early on. Immerse yourself in the company culture by attending whatever events may be going on, like weekly all-hands or after-work drinks. Even if having lunch with your team isn't part of your onboarding process, you should still try to squeeze in some time to get to know your coworkers on a personal level. There's nothing teams love more than when a new hire takes the initiative and invites everyone out for a drink (and not by the water cooler)! Being social at work is really going to make your employee experience at your new company one of a kind.
