The student will read and assess the article. Upon reading the article, the student will use the required template to evaluate the article based on the topics of the template.
The article review will be three pages in length. The reason for the three pages is that in business, time is money, and brevity is important. Although brevity is important, it is equally important that you are thorough in your assessment. The student will adhere to the APA format with the assignment. The assignment will include a cover page, an article review (three pages), and a reference page. The student will use two additional outside sources with this assignment and show their sources as in-text citations.

## Entrepreneurs Understand the Potential Impact Of Hybrid And Remote Work On Company Culture
Remote or hybrid worker feeling disconnected from her team and company.
The pandemic has created a bit of a dilemma when it comes to company culture. We are in the middle of the largest ‘quit’ phase in the USA with employees leaving companies and joining others, quite often due to whether or not they can work in a hybrid or even remote manner. The problem is that employees have stated their number one reason for working for a company in the first place is the company culture. And yet in a hybrid or remote work world, it’s very hard to build company culture. Quite a dichotomy.
And corporate and startup leaders are taking differing points of view, some demanding employees come back to work on a corporate campus, while others are saying employees can stay remote for the foreseeable future. What no one understands at this moment is the impact of a hybrid/remote employee on the company culture. And if there is no perceived value to a company’s culture, then why would employees be loyal?
It is going to be an interesting few years as we sort this all out. Listed below, are some of the mistakes to avoid or be aware of in a hybrid or fully remote working world.
**Scheduled Meetings.** The first potential culture-killer is your everyday internal meeting. After living on Zoom and/or Teams for over a year, we all know how to hold virtual meetings. Now, consider a meeting where half the participants are in the office, and half are at home. Will the office group join a video call from your conference room, where the remote folks are projected onto a flat screen? Will the remote participants be able to distinguish who is speaking when? Do they have the same access to any whiteboarding or relevant visuals? How hard will it be for them to interject and be heard? Will it feel like they are really there with the rest of the team?
**Unscheduled Meetings.** Outside of planned meetings, a return to the office means a return to spontaneous chit-chat that snowballs into meaningful conversations and innovative ideas. In some cases, you’ll be able to walk down the hall and talk to other stakeholders and have them join the discussion, and everyone will walk away on the same page. In a hybrid or remote setting, do you have a way to quickly pull more people into a spontaneous conversation? If some people simply aren’t available, how will you communicate with them afterwards? Or will they simply feel left out?
**Team-Building.** Looking beyond day-to-day meetings, your overall team- and relationship-building strategies also might need reevaluation. Nine months into the pandemic, a [Pew Research survey](https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pewsocialtrends.org%2F2020%2F12%2F09%2Fhow-the-coronavirus-outbreak-has-and-hasnt-changed-the-way-americans-work%2F&data=04%7C01%7Ccjprince%40chiefexecutive.net%7C3e3edf69ed2c4cd351bf08d92c30f6f1%7C4d7955266df24a9788152c421914e263%7C0%7C0%7C637589411093953102%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=Eq86hLFgZtNSzH6%2B6wAytCOVqifjJ4bdkK9mc%2B5KsyA%3D&reserved=0 "https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pewsocialtrends.org%2F2020%2F12%2F09%2Fhow-the-coronavirus-outbreak-has-and-hasnt-changed-the-way-americans-work%2F&data=04%7C01%7Ccjprince%40chiefexecutive.net%7C3e3edf69ed2c4cd351bf08") found that 65% of employees felt less connected to their coworkers. Less connected employees tend to quit. If you continue to treat in-person activities as the default for team-building, with virtual participants “included” as exceptions that need to be accommodated, you are almost guaranteed to exclude a segment of your team, make them feel left out, erode engagement, and risk turnover.
**Coaching and Promotions**. In the era of the pandemic and with hybrid and remote employees, we are asking an awful lot from our managers. When all of your employees report in the same way, evaluating performance is fairly straightforward. Over the past year, for example, we’ve all more or less settled into a routine of virtual delegation, collaboration, check-ins, and so forth. But what happens when you see one member of your team in person three-four times a week, another twice a month, and another never? Will the person with the most facetime get preferential treatment simply because they’re the most accessible? Will they naturally receive more coaching from you, and be promoted more quickly because of it?
**Shadow Culture.** The last thing you want in your company is multiple shadow cultures. The shadow side culture, as defined by Gerry Egan, author of Working the Shadow Side, is all the important activities and arrangements that do not get identified, discussed, and managed in decision-making forums that can make a difference. While it’s not always bad, imagine that remote employees, out of touch from day to day activities in the office start to make assumptions based on what they know and don’t know. Here is an example. In the spirit of inclusion, your in-office employees share photo after photo of all the fun things your team does in the office in Slack that your remote workers see: meals shared, pranks pulled, kids and pets photos, etc.
Behind the photos there’s obviously plenty of hard work, open conflict, and all the other facets of a normal company that aren’t so photogenic. But your remote team does not see this side, and they start to invent their own ‘shadow version’ of the company’s culture, one that is entirely separate from both them and reality. At that point, there’s no scenario that does not leave that employee feeling disconnected and dissatisfied. And so, they might become less loyal and just quit.

Functional Analysis
Functional analysis is defined by Cooper, Heron, & Heward (2007) as an analysis of the purposes (i.e., functions) of problem behavior, wherein antecedents and consequences representing those in the person's natural routines are arranged within an experimental design so that their separate effects on problem behavior can be observed and measured. A functional analysis typically consists of four conditions:
1. contingent attention,
2. contingent escape,
3. alone, and
4. a control condition.

**For this assignment, you will be going through four scenarios. For each scenario, cite at least two of the readings from the background readings to support your answer. You need to cite at least four of the readings total for your paper—these can include both required and optional readings listed in the background materials. Your paper should be 4–5 pages in length:**
Suppose you win the lottery. Not sure what to do with all of your money, on an impulse you decide to buy a local college as you want to make a positive impact in your community. However, you soon find yourself a bit over your head as all day you have employees or students coming to your office with all kinds of advice, suggestions for changes that should be made, complaints, etc. Never having run a college before, you are a bit confused about how to deal with all of this input and you don’t really have a good idea about what to focus on. The college has about 300 employees and 800 students and want to find a way to get some more organized input and creative ideas for improving the college. Should you use Open Space Technology, Future Search, or neither? Explain your reasoning and justify your answer using at least two of the readings from the background materials.
A video game company starts out with five undergraduate students living in a dorm, but rapidly grows within three years to around 50 employees and $10 million a year in annual revenues. While the company is still expected rapid growth, there is still sharp tension between the very young video game designers and the older and more experienced executives who run the finance and marketing departments. In particular, the younger employees strive to develop new video games that are unique and much different than any other games available. However, the more experienced executives wish to take a more conservative route and come out with games that are similar to popular games produced by their competitors. The five founding partners are not sure which of these two directions to take and wish to receive input from all of their employees through some type of formal process. Should the CEO use Open Space Technology, Future Search, or neither? Explain your reasoning and justify your answer using at least two of the readings from the background materials.
An insurance company has most of its employees in three different departments – sales, accounting, and information technology. The CEO is always receiving input from the sales department, as most of the salesforce is very outgoing and they don’t hesitate to give their opinions or make requests. On the other hand, employees in accounting and information technology tend to be quiet and shy and rarely speak up. The CEO notices that there is considerably higher turnover in the accounting and information technology departments, and thus becomes concerned that perhaps employees in these departments are leaving because they are dissatisfied with decisions the CEO has made or because they feel the salesforce is overly favored. There are about 50 employees in each department. The CEO wishes to find a process by which a wider range of employee input can be obtained. Should the CEO use Open Space Technology, Future Search, or neither? Explain your reasoning and justify your answer using at least two of the readings from the background materials.
A CEO initiates an Open Space Technology conference. At the start of the conference, the CEO provides a list of topics he wants covered and also gives his opinion on what kind of outcomes he wants from the conference. He also makes attendance at the conference mandatory. When the conference starts, participants all volunteer to give sessions on the topics proposed by the CEO. A few participants propose to give sessions on other topics not mentioned by the CEO, but very few employees come to these sessions and instead go to the sessions covering topics suggested by the CEO. At the end of the conference, the CEO is presented with a carefully worded summary of the conference and given conclusions that the CEO wanted to hear. However, after the conference ends and employees go back to work they are very slow at implementing the recommendations from the conference. What do you think went wrong? Which major principles or concepts of Open Space Technology do you think the CEO violated? Explain your reasoning, and cite Leith (1996) and at least one other source on Open Space Technology to support your answer.
