BlueSky Thinking Summary

As hybrid becomes the new normal, companies have to break their policies and adapt to the situation.

According to Benjamin Friedrich from Kellogg School of Management, rather than the full callback to the office, what organizations should really be doing is developing well-thought-out hybrid policies.

The article specifies that while in-person work was indeed truly conducive to creativity and career development, the flexibility aspect is a great boon to employees.

They should internalize data on a company level to actually measure the impact that hybrid work is having on productivity, levels of employee engagement, and inequalities.

Therefore, it is important that hybrid policies be designed to meet the needs of the organization but also be communicated in a way that balances employer and employee interests and will help attract and retain talent.

As businesses move through this transition, success will come with getting the balance right between flexibility and collaborating effectively in person.

Embracing this hybrid future could be the game-changer needed to revolutionize workplace dynamics for better overall performance.
