Was Hybrid The Wrong Approach To Delivering Workplace Flexibility?
Despite the growth of hybrid workplace policies, many organizations struggle to make them work. A broader, more multi-faceted approach to workplace flexibility can help.
Challenges of Hybrid Work
Many organizations experience disappointment with hybrid workplace policies due to issues like half-empty offices, disjointed team dynamics, and the struggle to maintain effective collaboration. While 67% of companies have adopted hybrid policies, many are now requiring more in-office time, which can lead to increased frustration among employees.
Employee Preferences for Flexibility
Employees tend to prioritize schedule flexibility over location flexibility. According to a survey by Future Forum, 93% of desk-based workers expressed a desire for more control over their schedules, compared to 81% who wanted more location flexibility. This indicates that having control over their calendars is crucial for reducing burnout and enhancing work outcomes.
Rethinking Workplace Flexibility
Organizations can adopt a broader approach to workplace flexibility by hiring empathetic managers, providing employees with more control over their calendars, and implementing policies that prevent after-hours work. Additionally, creating special shifts for working parents and adopting elder care policies can address diverse employee needs, ultimately enhancing retention and productivity.
