@joanne_hurleyv1 🤣 I didn't skip a beat when lockdown happened. I work at a walking desk so I am constantly in motion (+ creativity, + concentration and more) so I couldn't work sitting at a desk all day.

Definitely the future. Hopefully people will learn to care less about work.
@nworb I would add "keep the importance of work in perspective." I think COVID might have spurred people to rethink a little bit.

YES..this is the future. Remote employees are more productive and prefer working from home. Working from home also saves a lot of money, and there is a substantial cost saving for office space. Our Financial Consultant & Advisor will help you plan & save for your financial goals. Visit us now!

To build truly world-class teams and access the best talent from around the globe, allowing for remote work & flexibility is essential and 100% the future. There are many benefits but also plenty of challenges with this model though and, to get it right, leaders and HR teams need to think differently about the employee experience and develop programs & initiatives with a 'remote-first' approach. Tooling becomes critical, and we need to be far more intentional about the 'digital workspaces' we set up and work / collaborate in. Building culture and fostering connections (particularly for new hires) gets harder also with this model & requires additional focus.
For me personally, and across the last few start ups I've worked at (Canva, Vouch), a hybrid model seems to offer the right balance.

@jade_mack Thanks for sharing Jade, a hybrid model seems to be the general preference now. Do you think that creates any issues if part of the team is in the office at one point in time and others aren't?

@ralphsalterego I think the way around it is to:
1) ensure goals, measures of success and timelines are crystal clear for everyone and fully aligned with your company goals & strategy (so people know what they need to do and you can trust that they're working on the right things)
2) take the time to determine (with your teams input) which meetings / interactions / events should be in person (might be things like project kick offs, all-hands sessions, strategy workshops, goal reviews, team celebrations etc), ask everyone to commit to this & then schedule mindfully (e.g. all in person meetings scheduled on Mondays & Fridays only)
This way everyone comes for the most important things and can make the most of the opportunities for collaboration, but then determine their own schedules beyond this.
I believe Hybrid is the future. Remote work has definitely seen a boost after the pandemic, but there are still companies that feel the human connection is a must.

I think it is the future

I think working remotely is an awesome alternative to spending hours in your car commuting.

@paula_clagon haaha true true... before covid I always had my places closer to office.
Personally I feel that we can be more productive when we are working out of an office. If all of our team is at a single location, it is easier for us to discuss any ideas and brainstorm in real time.
Report
@sanjay_somashekar yes... I think its more like preference because I have seen people being less productive at home and likes to go to office if given a choice.
Report
Remote working is not good enough for freshers in any field and on the other hand, it is just best when it comes to traveling expenses. Thus, a hybrid work culture is what I think is best.
Report
@excellentweb_australia yes best way to learn is being surrounded by team. Hybrid is good for experienced.
