Issue #5: Enhancing Employee Experience in the Hybrid Workplace
In the midst of what many workforce experts have deemed ‘The Great Resignation,’ most companies are struggling to attract and retain workers. In survey after survey, employees report their desire to achieve a better balance between work, family and personal life. Employees want more flexibility and choice in their work arrangements. Most want to continue to work from home at least part of the time. In order to compete for talent, organizations will need to adopt hybrid strategies, increase flexibility and focus on enhancing the employee experience both at the traditional workplace and the home office.
In this issue, we'll focus on resources specific to enhancing the employee experience in hybrid work strategies.
What to Read
Employee Engagement in the Workplace Now and Tomorrow: While industry analysts, technologists, and property managers have been talking about the office of the future for years, the pandemic radically advanced the conversation. Now, organizations accept there are other places to work productively outside the traditional office.
Around the world, companies have begun to reimagine the office for tomorrow. The office that emerges post-pandemic will combine agile strategies, activity-based design, and hybrid work modalities that will dramatically re-shape real estate and facilities management.
Having the right technology to support your hybrid workforce will be essential in creating the workplace of the future.
5 Solutions to Improve the Hybrid Employee Experience: In a hybrid workplace, employees will experience some days in the office and some days working remotely. This puts pressure on employers to bridge the gap between the virtual and physical work environments in order to create an ideal employee experience. So far, it seems obvious that employees want flexibility, but they also need a system in place to help them effectively manage dual workplaces.
While each company will match its policies to its unique needs, culture and the characteristics of each office space, hybrid work is most effective when supported by good technology. Let’s review five of the most important capabilities that employers should strongly consider deploying to manage “the new normal”.
Ways Workplace Tech Can Create Confidence Out of Chaos: The newfound appreciation for remote and hybrid work — by both employees and employers — and the arrival of The Great Resignation — have put organizations on their heels when trying to set and execute plans that balance health, productivity, and employee satisfaction with long-term real estate investments.
Two years in, it’s clear that the future of work will allow for most office staff to maintain flexibility in where they get their work done. But executing these new policies efficiently — both from a financial and functional standpoint — requires a new set of tools that support better decision-making for leaders and enable a seamless experience for staff.
