How we work has been changed forever. Giving employees the freedom to choose a work from home (WFH) model or split their time between the office and home/ remote working has become the new norm for businesses, and it doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere. According to Poly Research’s latest ‘Recruit, Retain and Grow’ study, 56% of employers surveyed believe they will lose new and existing employees if they don’t adapt to hybrid working.
With the global pandemic accelerating this shift, companies have been investing in technology to provide their employees with the tools and environment they need to feel supported and be productive, regardless of where they’re working. The results have been positive, with 85% of companies surveyed in the same study reporting that the transition to hybrid working has led to an increase in productivity.
One potential contributor to this reported increase in productivity is the culture of trust and flexibility that comes with hybrid working and empowers employees to fit their working schedule around their lives – rather than vice versa – helping them to create a greater work/life balance.
