Empty Spaces, Expressionless Faces. Supporting colleagues in a hybrid workplace In a world where hybrid working is becoming the norm for many people, staying connected with colleagues can feel challenging. The subtle signals we might notice in face-to-face interactions can easily be missed when working remotely. This interactive two-hour workshop explores how we can support one another, strengthen team connections, and spot the signs when someone may be struggling. Designed for anyone in a hybrid workplace, this session empowers participants to recognise the behaviours and communication patterns that might indicate a colleague is finding things difficult, and helps them to respond with empathy and support. Through thought-provoking discussions, engaging activities, and practical strategies, participants will discover new ways to foster genuine connection — both online and face-to-face — to build and sustain a supportive team culture. Workshop outline: Noticing subtle shifts in mood and behaviour within a hybrid team. Exploring practical strategies for checking in without feeling intrusive. Encouraging open conversations in both virtual and physical settings. Creating a team culture that prioritises compassion and connection. This is not a lecture — it’s an engaging, interactive experience designed to leave participants feeling more confident in their ability to spot when a colleague might need support and better equipped to take meaningful action. Join us for this impactful session and discover how small moments of connection can inspire a more supportive, resilient hybrid workplace. 2-hour workshop packages At Mindmaps Wellbeing, we know that every business is unique, and no team is the same.
