THE FUTURE OF WORK IS HERE


THERE'S NO POINT IN GOING INTO THE OFFICE FOR THE SAKE OF GOING INTO THE OFFICE

If you work in an industry that has had to embrace remote work over the last
year and a half, you've probably found yourself in numerous discussions with
colleagues about whether you prefer working from home, in the office or a
mixture of both. Whatever your opinion, there's no doubt the workplace has
undergone an epic revolution. Enter the dawn of hybrid work.

The "new normal" is not a return to physical, bricks-and-mortar offices across
the board, nor is it a complete continuation of remote working. Instead, it is a
hybrid model, a combination of both options. Companies are adapting quickly.
Read on to learn how you can stay on top of the changes.


WHAT IS HYBRID WORK?

While the modern office has a long history that dates to the 1700s, hybrid work
is a new approach to how companies and their workforces operate. Instead of a
company policy dictating that everyone must work from home (or come into the
office) each day, a hybrid organization offers a bit of both.

This can look different for every organization. Some might employ a mix of
remote and non-remote employees; others might let everyone choose how often they
want to come into the office. Still, others might opt for a fixed ratio of main
office to home office time for their workers.


WHY HYBRID WORK IS HERE TO STAY

While it might be tempting for leaders to impose whichever style of working
suits them, opting out of a hybrid scenario could result in the loss of their
best talent. Recent reports show that up to 91% of employees want to continue
working from home some of the time post-pandemic, and just 9% would prefer to
return to the office full-time.

Now that so many people have realized the benefits of remote working, there is a
reluctance to give them up. However, businesses that thrive on longstanding
practices, shared employee values and unspoken rules have their work cut out for
them in a hybrid environment. In fact, 26% of Americans are already planning to
look for a new job that caters to their post-pandemic hybrid work needs; this
trend is especially strong among millennials.

THE BENEFITS OF HYBRID WORK



Hybrid work is about far more than just giving employees what they want to
ensure they stick around. Given the clear advantages both remote and in-office
work can bring, it makes sense that fusing both together can be a strong option.


THE POWER TO CHOOSE

The pandemic has demonstrated that many people are more productive when they can
set their own schedule and don't have to worry about the daily commute.

Yet there are other people who enjoy the greater human connection that comes
from spending time at the office. Even those who liked the novelty of remote
working initially may now be suffering from digital fatigue after endless Zoom
calls, emails and online events. One report showed that weekly meetings have
increased by 148% for Teams users.

Businesses and managers must finally recognize what we've known (and ignored)
all along: People are different and thrive in different environments. So, why
not allow them to choose the setting that suits them best?


DIFFERENT METHODS FOR DIFFERENT SITUATIONS

Hybrid work allows teams to have the best of both worlds: the efficiency of
letting employees carry out certain tasks remotely, and the camaraderie and
networking opportunities that come from everyone being in the same place at
once.

Although some people have a clear preference for working from home or in the
office, for most of us, it depends on the context. Hybrid work isn't forcing
anyone to make a clear-cut decision.


HARNESSING THE BENEFITS AS AN EMPLOYER

Although the advantages of hybrid work are clear, companies can't expect to
harness them entirely if they don't support their workers.



Over the course of the pandemic, it's become clear that many employees working
remotely haven't had the resources they needed, whether that's office equipment,
a reliable internet connection or technological knowledge. Hybrid workplaces
make ensuring resources are available a top priority.

Moreover, changes in the workplace, such as redesigning offices to accommodate
meeting room space, could give in-person experiences a needed boost. There's no
point in going into the office for the sake of going into the office anymore —
it's all about genuine teamwork and connection.


WHAT OTHER COMPANIES ARE DOING

If you're wondering what exactly this new blended model could look like, you
only need to look as far as Microsoft. The tech giant recently announced its
plans to adopt a hybrid approach in its workplace. With a team of more than
160,000 people, this is no easy feat.



To make remote work easier, Microsoft created new tools to encourage
collaboration, like the Microsoft Whiteboard. As for the office, the company
introduced outdoor collaboration spaces to recognize that different people
prefer to work in different environments, along with a range of other design
changes.

Of course, Microsoft isn't the only major company to embrace hybrid work. U.K.
bank Nationwide has decided to give employees the option to work remotely, and
Salesforce unveiled plans to offer its workforcethree different options for how
they operate.


DON'T LET YOUR BEST TALENT GET AWAY

The concept of hybrid work might have sounded like a luxury just two years ago,
but it's fast becoming the only feasible option for companies that care about
keeping their best workers around. And let's face it: How many businesses don't
fall into that category?



Fortunately, compared to the sudden and unexpected shift to remote working many
underwent in 2020, the transition to hybrid work should be relatively smooth. In
most cases, companies don't need to do anything fancy — they simply need to
listen to their employees' desires and act on the feedback.
