Hybrid Still Isn’t Working – Harvard Business Review
Evidence suggests that it’s hurting collaboration, exacerbating social isolation, and weakening culture. Here’s how to fix it.
Over the past year, organizations large and small have been forcing their employees to return to the office for the entire workweek. They are responding to growing evidence that remote and hybrid arrangements result in lower worker performance. But many companies don’t have that option, for several reasons: They no longer have the office space to house all their employees and either can’t quickly expand it or don’t want to spend the money to do so; their employees are now dispersed geographically; or they fear a rebellion by hard-to-replace talent. This article is aimed at enterprises that want to keep remote or hybrid work arrangements, at least for the time being.
