Four years post-pandemic, and it's crystal clear: the workplace has undergone a seismic shift, never to return to its former self. Going back to the way things were before COVID-19 is off the table. A significant number of office workers now prefer to keep working remotely, and their voices hold weight. In this edition of This Week in Consulting, let us explore how today's workplaces have evolved in the post-pandemic landscape. Lets delve into which workplace models are here for the long haul and how these changes are impacting both workers and the industries reliant on them. If you're one of those die-hard traditionalists still skeptical about hybrid work models, perhaps you're stuck on the idea of physical location. But let me tell you, the notion that employees must share the same physical space to foster a sense of camaraderie is a misconception. According to Gartner's survey, the models that flop are the ones fixated on location, imposing rigid on-site requirements. Only one model stood out — the "hybrid-flexible" approach, which grants leaders and employees the freedom to choose where they work. When the COVID-19 storm hit in 2020, it reshaped our lives in three significant ways: where we work, where we live, and where we shop. We'll examine its impact on the real estate sector, mega cities' populations, and how the hybrid work model is nudging people toward outmigration. Business leaders are currently prioritizing the transition to hybrid and remote work setups, addressing issues like digital transformation, selecting suitable virtual tools, and promoting employee well-being. However, amidst this transition, there's a neglected group: in-person workers such as factory staff, nurses, and retail employees who perform essential roles that cannot be done remotely. We'll explore the critical steps needed to craft a strategy that works for this in-person cohort. With various forces at play, it's still uncertain how things will settle and what the future holds for workplaces in the years to come. Will organizations entice employees back to the office, or will remote work prevail? In the meantime, dive into this captivating collection of articles throughout the week to grasp the emerging trends in the workplace and hybrid work. And be sure to share your thoughts with me. I'm all ears and eager to hear your perspective on this topic! #ThisWeekInConsulting #TWIC #HybridWork #HybridWorking

During my MBA class this week, we delved into a fascinating topic: The role of the office still TBC. Inspired by a discussion from the World Economic Forum last March, we explored different perspectives on whether the office is still relevant. We examined this issue from both shareholder and stakeholder viewpoints, highlighting their differing values: employees' desire for autonomy versus management's focus on measurable, tangible performance. One key insight was the presence of biases, such as proximity bias, and the complex impact on carbon footprints, which depends on employee behaviors and infrastructure efficiency. However, what struck me the most was the lack of attention to those who cannot work remotely. While hybrid and WFH models are becoming mainstream in developed areas, billions of factory workers and others must work on-site. This growing rift in work benefits and opportunities raises concerns about social turbulence and the widening gap between social classes. As labor costs rise in developed countries and automation replaces workers in developing nations, we must consider the broader implications. As we discuss the future of work for those who can work remotely, we should also think about providing meaningful benefits and support for those who cannot. It's essential to value and recognize the hard-working individuals who provide invisible services and keep our world running. https://lnkd.in/dbZvWpt7
