The best out of both worlds — The new hybrid office is here to stay

Remote working has been part of our working environments even before the pandemic. But what used to be a small part of your team, now has become the largest portion of it. Two years into the pandemic and what started as a positive development has now divided employees working preferences.

According to the data Microsoft’s Work Trend Index revealed last year, businesses need to adjust their operations to facilitate employee productivity in the post-pandemic era.

The new hybrid way to return to the office

Remote working has started to take a toll on employee satisfaction, mental health, and efficiency. More specifically, it has been found that the recently adopted work from home models relate not only to more work hours but also decreased productivity, blurring the boundaries between personal and work life.

For this reason, people have started to migrate towards hybrid solutions that combine half of the working week at the office and the rest of the week from home. That infuses a certain amount of flexibility in the workplace that allows for happier employees who work on their own terms and are able to safeguard a balance between their working and personal life.

So how can business leaders accommodate the recently presented needs of their employees?
