The blog below is a guest blog of Poly.
2020 will be the catalyst for hybrid working, offering employees flexibility and choice, and driving productivity through collaboration and communication.
HYBRID WORKING
How practices, workspaces and culture will change as we emerge into the “next normal.”
REIMAGINE
The way we work:
-
- RETHINK WORKING PATTERNS – Policies that prioritize what employees need to be productive.
- FOSTER BETTER COLLABORATION – Engaging and productive virtual workspaces.
- OPTIMIZE INVESTMENT – Technology-enabled personal workspaces, everywhere.
RADICALLY
Rethink workspaces:
- ENTERPRISE HOME SET-UPS – Enterprise-grade tech for professional home working spaces.
- CO-WORKING SPACES – Choice and flexibility for employees.
- SATELLITE OFFICES – Multiple, small offices over more dispersed locations.
REINVIGORATE
A sense of belonging:
- EMPOWER LEADERS WITH NEW TECHNIQUES – Invest in managers to empower hybrid working teams.
- HARNESS VIRTUAL WAYS TO HEAR, SEE AND WORK TOGETHER – Virtual collaboration and “water cooler” moments.
- CONNECT PEOPLE, NOT THINGS AND PLACES – Integrate culture into your digital operations.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE “NEXT NORMAL”
- Home office spaces built into residences
- Increased flexible work across multiple locations
- Recruitment over larger demographic areas
- Work from home; meet in the office, bringing everyone together virtually
- Smaller company footprints over more dispersed locations
- Seamless workflows between home and office
- Technology designed for ease of use with personal devices
- Only necessary business travel
Work isn’t a place, it’s what you do.
