Meetings & expectations | 3 ways to make hybrid work sustainable

The coronavirus pandemic has sparked a step change in how employers and employees view the world of work. Increasingly, and on the back of this shift, there is an appetite for an ability to flex between office and homeworking as data has shown.

In fact, earlier this year, the BBC quizzed 50 of the UK’s largest firms including Aviva and WPP, finding that circa 43 of the employers polled said they would embrace a mix of working from home and the office.

On the staff side of things, a CBRE survey found that around 85% of employees would like to work remotely at least two to three days per week post-pandemic, with the remaining portion of the week spent in the office. And with more than half of global employees stating that they would quit their jobs if not given post-pandemic flexibility according to an EY survey, this could be the key to retaining top talent.

As increasing numbers of companies and employees move to a hybrid working model, it is crucial that leaders think about how to make this type of working a success and sustainable for the future. To help with this, Grapevine Leaders has collated a list of three tips below.
