The TRENDS and Dynamics on our Minds

Hybrid + Virtual Workplace

Leading in a hybrid workplace will require structure and discipline! We have the tools and capabilities to accelerate your success of building both your CULTURE and TALENT Bench!

Gallup

Over 50% of the workforce is “remote-capable” meaning they could effectively work remotely in their roles
If no remote work options were offered by a current employer—54% of workers working exclusively from home would look for another job—-38% of Hybrid workers said same

Top Reasons for work location preference:

Avoid Commute
Better for overall Well-Being
I need flexibility for family or other obligations
The option to work in person with co-workers
I feel more productive and connected to my organization

There is a NEW “Will of the Workplace”

4 in 10 want to work 2-3 days in office; 3 in 10 want less than 2 days/week in office
4 in 10 want complete autonomy; 6 in 10 want some structure on days in office

Microsoft 2022 World Trends Index (N=31,000)

Jobs that offered a “remote option” 1 in 67 in 2020; today 1 in 7
The big question—Why are we going back to the office—what is the value of the physical space?

HBR Article—What great Hybrid Cultures do differently (Stainer and Li)

Treat everyone as REMOTE (whether in office or not—level playing field)
Shift to ASYCHRONOUS communication vs. synchronous—record or write messages vs. live (time zones issues)—have questions forwarded in advance
Use technology to produce artefacts—recorded zoom calls; transcripts
Make communication boundaries clear—how long to respond to chats? Emails? Agree on working hours—this can eliminate interruptions/disruptions. Spontaneous is thought to be good—only if it’s not disruptive

MBO Partners 2021 Survey among nearly 7,000 US Workers

68% of independent workers stated they felt more secure working independently (up from 32% in 2011; 53% in 2019)
In 2021 the number of independent workers grew sharply up 34% to 51.1M from 38.2M in 2020
87% are Happier on their own
78% are Healthier on their own

Well-Being

Leadership is a BEING state not a DOING state! Why has our Well-Being taken so long to make it onto the Leadership Agenda? WELL one thing’s for sure---It’s here to STAY! Our programs are integrated and holistic! There is no “work you” and “home you”----JUST YOU!

GALLUP February 2022---15,000 full and part time workers

Percentage of employers who care about employee Well-Being PLUMMETS!
Fewer than 1 in 4 employees feel their employer cares about their well-being—lowest in nearly a decade
In 2014 equally low–pandemic caused it to double reaching a high of 49% and now as pandemic eases it is plummeting back to previous levels
Employees who feel an employer cares about their well-being are 69% less likely to look for a new job
Blended work and life now more important; employee well-being matters more than ever to both resiliency of employees and their organizations
Additional benefits of employers caring about well-being
- 71% less likely to experience a lot of burnout
- 5X more likely to Advocate for their organization as a place to work and that they trust the leadership
- 3X more likely to be engaged in work
- 39% more likely to thrive in their overall lives

In Gallup’s database—top organizations have more than 6 in 10 employees saying their company cares about their well-being 2-3X the national average

GALLUP 2021

Companies fail to choose right candidate with right talent 82% of the time
Managers account for at least 70% of the variance in employee engagement across business units

ONLY 2 in 10 exhibit some of the characteristics and can function at a high level of management with coaching and development

GREAT MANAGERS

Use Assertiveness to drive outcomes and overcome adversity as well as resistance
Create a clear culture of Accountability
Build Relationships—mainly through Trust and Transparency
Make decisions based on productivity NOT politics
