The future of work has dominated discussions both in the office and at home. What was previously ‘the great remote working experiment’ has now morphed into ‘the great hybrid work pilot’ and even ‘the great resignation’ as companies shake up their workplace policies to align with a new, employee-led work landscape, and employees decide whether they like what they see.
According to a January 2022 Future Forum Pulse Survey of more than 10,700 knowledge workers, hybrid working – which combines remote working with days based in an office – has become the dominant model of work.
The survey found that hybrid work arrangements increased 12 percentage points between May and November of 2021, rising from 46% to 58%. Half of respondents said their company offered flexible working hours, while 42% offer flexibility in working location. As employees settle into the new way of working, employee experience scores also appear to have improved, with Future Forum finding that hybrid and remote employees scored better on work-life balance, stress and work satisfaction than those that were required to work from the office full-time.
