Hybrid Work is Just Work. Are We Doing it Wrong?
On the topic of hybrid work, employees and employers are divided. Employees are embracing hybrid work and its benefits. Many employers on the other hand, are yearning for a return to pre-Covid office life while dealing with challenges such as shrinking budgets and tight talent markets.
To help leaders balance employee interests and organizational success, Microsoft surveyed 20,000 people worldwide and analyzed trillions of Microsoft 365 productivity signals, LinkedIn labor trends and Glint People Science findings. The data points to three pivots leaders must make to empower people for new ways of working. Read this blog to explore three pivots to help employees thrive and organizations succeed.
How can leaders ensure employee productivity in a hybrid work environment?
Leaders should shift their focus from merely tracking employee activity to prioritizing impactful work. This includes providing clear guidance on workload prioritization, as 81% of employees believe managers should help them focus on what matters most. Additionally, fostering a culture of trust and open communication can alleviate productivity paranoia, allowing employees to thrive.
What motivates employees to return to the office?
Employees are more likely to return to the office for social connections rather than just company expectations. A significant 84% of employees are motivated by the opportunity to socialize with colleagues, and 73% would come in more often if their direct team members were present. Therefore, rebuilding social capital is essential for encouraging in-person collaboration.
How important is learning and development for employee retention?
