From leadership gaps to communication barriers to unclear expectations — companies are missing opportunities to find a distributed work model that works best for their teams. On this episode of the Inclusion in Progress podcast, we discuss what is standing in the way of making distributed work models effective, why the debate should move beyond remote vs. RTO (return-to-office), and what leaders like you can do to unlock the true potential of distributed work in 2025 and beyond.

We’ve spent 2024 navigating some of the most pressing challenges facing our organizations today: Communication breakdowns between teams due to socioeconomic or geopolitical events The tug-of-war between return-to-office and remote work The politicization of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) itself …all of which directly affects the teams that leaders claim they’re supporting.

A principle at the core of our Inclusive Distributed Work™ framework is compassionate collision — bringing different perspectives to the table and creating psychological safety for everyone to contribute their ideas and views to an organization. The goal of compassionate collision isn’t to “fix” or “solve” complex issues overnight, but to create an environment where people can express themselves without fear of retaliation. Our CEO, Kay Fabella, has been having difficult conversations with leaders

IIP128 Why In-Office Mandates Hinder Innovation & Inclusion Show Notes The company on everyone’s mind in the ongoing return-to-office debates is none other than Amazon. The global company’s decision to roll back hybrid work models and reinstate in-office mandates in January 2025 has raised eyebrows — and not in a good way. While Amazon (and companies like them) may view this in-office mandate as a way to "restore" collaboration, will it instead stifle the very innovation it wants to improve? In

2024/09/13

Since 2022, employers have been working against a global talent shortage, particularly amongst knowledge workers. This has put immense pressure on teams, increasing the risk of burnout, and prompting some leaders to consider leaving their positions. Doubling down on DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) to increase the presence of underrepresented or excluded groups — whether from non-traditional backgrounds, cultures, or life trajectories — is not just a nice-to-have. It’s critical to help you

2024/08/09

Hybrid work has been most commonly defined as a blend of in-office and remote work. This form seemed like the perfect solution as we transitioned post-pandemic because it promised flexibility and a balanced approach to the workplace. However, many organizations have found themselves stuck in the middle ground where the emphasis is still on showing up at the office rather than focusing on productivity. And we have seen that this current iteration of hybrid has significant limitations and

In this episode of the Inclusion in Progress podcast, we share more about our signature Inclusive Distributed Work™ — which we’ve used with tech companies worldwide to support their distributed teams. At Inclusion in Progress, we define distributed work as physical distribution (remote, hybrid and in-office) and geographical distribution (global and multicultural). Which means that even before March 2020, our teams were already distributed. Today, the success of your distributed teams depends on

2024/06/07

In our post-pandemic world, many more companies have distributed workforces. Which means many of the HR, Talent and People leaders that we engage with are having to rethink and redefine how to close the gender gap in leadership — when many no longer share the same physical office space or cultural context. With that said, research shows that sponsorship remains one of the most effective ways to close the gender gap in leadership. So how do you know when a sponsorship program is right for

But how do you know which program is the best fit for your organization? Inspired by our conversations with hundreds of HR, DEI and People leaders of distributed teams, we discuss how to close the gender gap in leadership through a structured, scaleable mentorship or sponsorship program.

Organizations that claimed to support diversity and inclusion in the wake of the pandemic are continuing to mandate Return-to-Office policies today. Leaders are clinging to the paradigm of in-office work as the gateway to productivity and performance — rather than using this moment as an opportunity to leverage the insight they've gained from their own flexible work experiences to innovate new ways of working. But did you know that flexible work isn't just a nice-to-have but a non-negotiable

During the pandemic, women all over the world left the workforce and never came back. Today, women leaders are now leaving their organizations at the highest rate ever.

Although gender equality has arguably been a core focus of the inclusive workplace conversation, it still continues to be a concern — especially when we see a lack of women in leadership positions in many of the tech companies we partner with. As a woman-owned business, Inclusion in Progress is all too familiar with the lack of growth opportunities in our past work environments.
