When it comes to hybrid working, there\u2019s no turning back. \u00a0And yet Poly research shows that less than 50% of organizations are fully prepared with a hybrid working strategy.<\/p>\n
Embracing this new model and setting up your business to operate in a new standard over the long term is no small feat. It requires a fundamental reshaping of time and space when it comes to how and where we work. There are many things to consider, which is one reason so many companies are still in the planning phase.<\/p>\n
But as large as the challenges seem, so are the benefits to be gained. The ability of businesses to attract and retain talent in a tight labor market is only the beginning. Getting it right can also increase business agility and resiliency and provide an advantage in volatile markets.<\/p>\n
How do you move forward without falling back into the paradigms of the past? So many of the headlines around hybrid are focused on whether people are working in the office or at home, and how often they work in each place. But that\u2019s just one of several elements to consider in a process that\u2019s completely remaking the future of your employees and your business.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also essential to consider:<\/p>\n
Where the work occurs. <\/strong>Is your office the traditional office or is it an ecosystem that also encompasses a variety of casual working locations where employees can gather? Also, it\u2019s important to acknowledge that remote isn\u2019t just a home office. For employees on the go, it may not be a static location at all. So, wherever your employees are working, and whether they\u2019re in an office location four days a week or one day a month, your plan needs to enable them to be productive now and as your hybrid model evolves.<\/p>\n
