We are seeing a lot of very bad implementation of hybrid work which explains why managers are panicking and employees resign in numbers (over 80% of people who resigned have started working in jobs that were not in the same city they lived at)
These are just examples of personal examples I have encountered:
“Our employees are working in predefined shifts”
“Our employees are required to arrive 3 days a week”
“The manager decides how many days a week his team needs to arrive”
These are all phony hybrid implementations which are a reminisce of the dark ages 🙂
So you ask yourself — what is hybrid work?
Hybrid is about building a culture that:
- Embraces employees freedom of choice to decide when and where to work from-spurring employees creativity
- Permits ‘work’ from anywhere treats homes as just another distributed office branch (that requires facilities, perks, etc.)
- Provides digital tools for (async) collaboration and engagement
- Provides a personalized flexible contract detailing where & when employees work and what is being provided
- Uses data-driven insights to monitor the workforce health and alerts on violations of the ‘code of flexibility’ — employees and managers alike
