Companies are struggling to keep up with a hybrid work model in which people can be anywhere, anytime, and working in ways that you never imagined.
It’s not just the technology that has changed; it’s also how we live our lives today. The traditional 9-5 workday is dead, and what used to be considered “work from home” is now becoming more commonplace as employees have access to high-speed internet connections from virtually anywhere at any time of day or night.
Many companies are now offering their employees the opportunity to work from home, or at least some variation of this type of working arrangement. While this may seem like an ideal situation for many people – especially those with young children – there are numerous issues that need to be addressed when creating and implementing this type of policy.
Kelly Gratz shares her experience and lessons from other organizations to show us how businesses can use a hybrid work model successfully. How?
By providing their teams with flexibility while still allowing them to feel connected and productive. You’ll learn about the tools companies need for successful collaboration across locations, including video conferencing software, cloud storage solutions, and team chat apps. This podcast episode will help you understand why your employees want this type of flexible work arrangement so much – even if they don’t realize it themselves!
We go over all the details related to how you can implement a hybrid work model into your company while still maintaining high levels of productivity and satisfaction among your workers. We also explore how you can create an entire system that allows you to communicate clearly with everyone involved about expectations, policies, procedures, and more so that everyone is on board with the new way things will be done moving forward. Not only do they get buy-in from all parties but also help them understand why these changes are important not just for them but for the future success of the business.
