The Rise of the Hybrid Workplace: Strategic Opportunities for the Post-Pandemic Office 2 It's impossible to ignore the impact COVID-19 has had on the way we work. According to a McKinsey study, 93% of organizations experienced an increase in employees working f rom home at the start of the pandemic—and only 23% of survey respondents believed the change wouldn't last. In the face of stay-at-home orders, public health guidelines and fear of the virus, even companies that spent years resisting their employees' desire to work f rom home (WFH) became fully remote almost overnight. For the most part, the tools, technology, and models already existed, but many large corporations had been slow to adopt them. Now, video conferencing tools like Zoom are ubiquitous. The challenges of working f rom home are familiar and relatable. And businesses across the globe are learning to manage a workforce that is both virtual and in-person. Many employees who worked remotely in the early days of the pandemic are back in the office—some full-time, some splitting their time between working f rom home and working on-site. The number of "always remote" workers reported by Gallup decreased to 33% in October of 2020, down f rom 51% at the start of the pandemic. In the same survey, two-thirds of respondents who have been working remotely indicated that they'd prefer to continue doing so, even when it's safe to return. This tension has given rise to the "hybrid workplace": a model that gives employees the flexibility to work f rom home or in-person, depending on what they prefer and what the business needs. In this guide, we'll explore what a hybrid workplace is, what makes it so attractive to employees and companies and how to decide what your office should look like. Introduction
