Despite unending op-eds and hot takes at each end of the remote-work spectrum, for now, hybrid work is here to stay. Office attendance has stabilized at around 30% of pre-pandemic levels, with the average worker going in 3.5 days per week, according to new McKinsey research.
Even with hybrid as king, what works for the average hybrid employee may not work for yours—or may work until it doesn’t. We’ve heard from two experts in recent Charter Cortados (thank you, Brian Elliott and Rob Sadow!) that the constant evolution of hybrid workplaces will also remain a fixture in how we think about workplace flexibility.
Figuring out hybrid for today simply won’t cut it. Instead, think about hybrid sustainability. This means preparing your organization to be proactive, nimble, and iterative over the long term as you continue to navigate changing set-ups. Here are three priorities to get you started:
