The hybrid work structure became the upstanding norm of the modern organization by necessity, but with the fluidity and ease of organizational overheads that come with adopting this model, businesses have now chosen the hybrid model and we can see that it is shaping the future of the working landscape.
We can see that less commuting, cost savings, and better work-life balance are the main reasons employees now favor a hybrid approach to work. Companies failing to adopt and evolve in line with the modern workflow model risk higher employee turnover and lower employee morale.
Employees post the pandemic are now leaving the jobs that enforce a traditional office model for jobs with hybrid alternatives to bring themselves more autonomy and flexibility in how and where they work.
The biggest challenge faced by businesses is redesigning the workflow architecture, offices were not designed with hybrid work models kept in mind, and restructuring the existing model to overcome the shortcomings of a hybrid model is the only way to keep business operations optimized. Reduced team productivity, reduced team creativity, and innovation along with reduced vitality and dilution of company culture. When redesigning the physical workspace with hybrid in mind, a people-centric approach is key to its success. Your strategy needs to look at the existing processes and employee expectations first – and then consider the technology required to enrich what is already in place. This will make certain that the strategy is not only agile but future-proof.
IT leaders will need to do their due diligence thoroughly to tackle these issues. With the added layer of complexity surrounding compliance with security regulations, the conditions to create the perfect storm are ahead if planning isn’t done correctly with people at the forefront.
