Organisations are looking to provide hybrid working to their employees to enable them to continue enjoying the benefits of both remote and in-office work. However, as new certainties arise, leaders need to consider how to balance employee preference with employer preference.

The role of the office is central to how organisations see the world of flexibility and hybrid, and they need to be more deliberate about how they set the office up for success to drive interdependencies like culture, talent and inclusivity, and how to use the office to facilitate increased engagement and productivity.

Embedding hybrid working successfully won’t come without its challenges, and these must not be underestimated. Leaders and managers will play a pivotal role in the shift to hybrid ways of working.
