Back to the office?
It’s complex. Get to know your people better and get it right – for everyone.
A mix of remote and office working—hybrid working—is the new model for many businesses that were traditionally in-office organizations.
But what’s the right mix? Our research shows that people want different amounts of remote/in-office time. A blanket ‘rule’ for everyone is unlikely to be the best way forward.
See why understanding employees’ situations and personality types better is key to a successful back-to-the-office strategy.
