A huge performance challenge
Companies today are facing a complex performance challenge with heightened levels of stress, distrust and disengagement in the workforce. Employees are reporting numerous disruptions in work environments that don’t provide them with the right conditions in which to perform well. Culture and management are being questioned, together with the quality of the physical and digital workplaces provided to employees. This already fragile background has been weakened by the pandemic. COVID-19 has served as the ultimate accelerant and “Time Machine”, pulling all of us forward from 2020 to 2025 and beyond. CEOs are now realizing that their businesses may never operate like they did before COVID-19:
• Organizations are recognizing a long-term coexistence with the pandemic, impacting the way we work in depth.
• They must adapt to a pattern of sporadic attendance and find a new way to secure the performance of their workforce.
• To keep their top talent, they need to lean into workforce preferences and offer employeecentric solutions.
