Designing a successful hybrid working strategy

Since the global pandemic and the accompanying government-enforced lockdowns, the sector has been forced to review their working habits and embrace remote working.

As the world enters ‘the new normal’, and Freedom Day in the UK seems a long way behind us, offices are reopening, and businesses are accommodating a blend of home and office working: the hybrid-working model.

But behind the scenes, the world is moving into an era of ‘The Great Resignation’.

New research from the Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management has found that a large proportion of employees will expect a level of ‘hybrid’ working in the future – with
just under half (44%) of the workforce wanting to work from the office for 3 days or fewer each week. Additionally, results also found that 63% of employees now believe the office to be unnecessary – this was a rise of one-fifth since the first lockdown (51%).
