Problems We Solve
Context
- In 2020 organizations’ employees were required to “shelter in place.”
- In 2021 employees began a slow return to the central workplace while many/most continued to work from home.
- In 2022 a new “hybrid” work model had been established with both advantages and disadvantages in working remotely.
- Advantages included more privacy to focus, less work distractions like office chatter and politics, reduction in commute cost and stress.
- Disadvantages included fears of lower productivity, not being “seen” by management, never stopping work.
New Work Reality
- The new work reality is “here to stay”. It is not going away.
- It’s a work anywhere hybrid model, a mixture of work locations (central office and/or remote settings), but rarely just one.
- It is dynamic and may frequently change (daily, weekly, monthly) as individual employee work behaviors and requisite work requirements change.
- And, as a result, it is reshaping cities, careers, family life and free time.
Organizational Challenge
- In 2023, the organizational challenge is to understand how each organization uniquely functions within the reality of hybrid working.
- When well designed, this way of working can heighten advantages and reduce disadvantages.
- Imagine, if decision makers could see how their current organization “maps” with this new work reality; a simple graph comparing employee suitability/capability to do remote work versus employee preference to work remotely.
- Imagine, if this insight could be “drilled down” viewing results by the overall organization, divisions/departments, teams and even individual employees.
