The road ahead is one of new navigation, and the choices leaders make will impact an organization’s ability to succeed in hybrid ways of working for years to come. As leaders steer companies in a new hybrid working direction, culture, talent, productivity, and innovation will all be impacted by the decisions they make right now.
Successful organizations will be agile, embracing flexible ways of working and creating inclusive and equitable workplaces for everyone. No one will get this right the first time, but we need to re-wire our thinking to navigate the challenges and complexity in hybrid work in order to unlock the full potential of this new way of working.
While getting hybrid right will require extensive work, the benefits of this blended way of working have the potential to improve our well-being and productivity, to the benefit of organizations, and more importantly to the benefit of the people who work for them. If we lean into flexibility, design thinking, and creating ways of working that benefit everyone, together we can discover a better work future for all.
