Hybrid work is still evolving, with 74% of companies changing policies multiple times since 2020. While 67% of workers are satisfied with current policies, 20% have considered quitting due to their hybrid setup.
Key challenges include:
- Productivity issues
- Lack of proper technology and training
- Miscommunication and feeling disconnected
Leaders struggle the most, facing "hybrid whiplash" and motivation issues. This suggests current policies aren't optimal.
Recent research shows a 3-2 office-home split may be more beneficial than full-time office work, improving performance, satisfaction, and retention.
To improve hybrid work, leaders should:
- Rethink work processes
- Adopt new productivity measures
- Provide better training and resources for collaboration
Currently, only 24% of entry-level workers feel adequately trained in hybrid collaboration, while 39% of executives claim to have created guidelines.
