A Cisco-commissioned study with MIT Sloan Management Review highlights progress toward the future of work. Now comes an equal challenge: building on its promise.
Hybrid work is the most transformative workforce trend in a generation. It promises a more inclusive, flexible, and collaborative future. Yet I fear that we could regress if work cultures fail to evolve at the pace of technology change, and leaders don’t adapt to the evolving “mixed mode” with some people in the office and others at home (or anywhere else they choose).
Despite all of its challenges and tragedies, the COVID-19 pandemic unveiled what’s possible with work. Much of the global workforce moved to remote work all but overnight. And despite fears to the contrary, we proved that we can be more productive than ever before. But now comes an equally difficult part — building on the knowledge gained these past two years to build a future of work that’s great for everyone, regardless of where they happen to be.
