The future of work is hybrid
The Hybrid Work Model
Organizations that offer the freedom to work from home are:
Đttractive to potential employees
Not restricted to local job markets
Easier to scale up or down and achieve 24/7 coverage
Less burdened by office space and business travel overheads
Environmentally friendly and sustainable.
There is no going back to the work model that prevailed before the pandemic.

The challenges
The case for switching to hybrid is powerful. But itâs not an easy transition to make.
Want to transition to a hybrid work model?
Staying aligned with priorities
Communicating the company mission and goals is not easy for leadership under normal circumstances, let alone when dealing with a remote workforce.
Keeping informed
Communicating or staying on top of developments and metrics becomes more difficult and time-consuming.
Isolation
Sharing the âtribal knowledgeâ of how to get things done and who can help becomes a real challenge when simply looking up from your desk and asking a question is no longer an option.
The risk of dividing the workforce
Failing to keep remote workers involved can culminate in them feeling dislocated and like second-class citizens compared to their office-based counterparts.
The trust issue
The number one challenge for leadership is typically referred to as âaccountabilityâ when what is really meant is âtrustâ. The issue is not being able to keep tabs on remote team members.
Remote monitoring systems are not the solution. They encourage a culture of command and control, making the old idea that employees work better in the office a self-fulfilling prophecy.
