More employers are realising that there is no going back to the work model that prevailed before the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. The call for flexibility is here to stay and many are embracing hybrid working.
Findings from ISG’s research report ‘The Power of Place’ show that the rise in hybrid and remote working may have changed the world of work exponentially, but when it comes to encapsulating brand, creating a sense of belonging among talent, and inspiring people to be creative and productive, the physical workplace still has a big role to play.
A recent study by real estate consultancy Savills revealed that nearly 70% of employees had returned to their offices in some capacity after the pandemic. Another study by tech firm Cisco concluded that the majority of employees surveyed – around 90% – would prefer a hybrid work model.
