We’re in a period that many economists and pundits call the “Great Upheaval.” We’re at a pivotal point in history where a profound shift in how and where we work has begun, and there’s no turning back. Because of the pandemic and the ubiquity and flexibility of remote work, this point of no return is further exemplified by what’s happening now.
Many have realised that the time they spend commuting could be allocated to personal development, improving health and wellness, spending time with family and friends, and pursuing their interests. Others have experienced a sort of digital burnout from working remotely in their respective silos without much interaction with their colleagues.
The hybrid model used to be seen as an alternative style of work. But as more employees demand flexibility, it’ll become even more common. As a result of this inherent need for freedom, flexibility, and face-to-face communication, a hybrid work model is one that offers the best solution for businesses looking to adapt to a post-pandemic world.
This will be the most significant reinvention of work in our lifetimes in a macro sense. It is a moment for all of us to consider deeply (and reconsider) the value our companies deliver.
and how we innovate and compete, and how we create the conditions for people to be happy, fulfilled, and bring their best to their work. Finding the right balance won’t be easy, but it represents an opportunity for brilliant new solutions that serve people and organizations.
