Embracing the New Normal with the Hybrid Workplace
Key Points:

• Re-evaluate your print output
For as much as we may love working at home in our sweatpants, the office is calling our name. In the last week, Google, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, Microsoft, and Amazon are encouraging the hybrid work model starting spring and summer of 2021. For many of companies, the hybrid work model will be here to stay. The pandemic proved that you don’t need everyone in the same building to achieve results. For some, 2020 was their most profitable year as they quickly adapted to change. To maximize your success, ensure you have the proper tools and ongoing support.
What is the hybrid work model?
It’s the model in which a company offers a remote work policy and may have employees scattered by distance or schedule. There are variations such as Remote-First, Office Occasional, and Office-First Remote Allowed. The workplace of the future will likely continue to be some hybrid blend of remote and office work.
Notably, companies like Quora and Dropbox have implemented the Remote-First model, utilizing their office spaces as co-working spaces rather than as full-time offices. Offering a co-working option is a natural fit, as some workers will prefer to work outside of their homes, and pre-2020 remote work was not necessarily synonymous with working from home.
However your office may be accommodating, we must prepare for office changes. There will be larger meeting areas with screens & cameras, interactive whiteboards, sharing workstations, and mobile furniture. We should also feel empowered and protected with the proper tools and strategizes as we adapt to the new normal.
