How to Simplify Hybrid Work

The great transition to hybrid work is in full swing. 

Tech giants like Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft as well as many other big and small businesses are now embracing hybrid as their primary mode of work.

However, the transition hasn’t been easy.

Companies are struggling to answer many hybrid work questions, including:

• How do you transition smoothly from remote or office work to hybrid?
• What will hybrid work’s impact be on company culture?
• Do you implement a schedule for the entire company or do you let everyone decide when to come to the office?

The bad news is that there’s no one-size-fits all solution to hybrid work.

The good news is that we just released a new eBook that can help you set the foundation and optimize your hybrid workplace.

Here are a few of the things you can find in it:

• Real-world examples of hybrid work models & schedules.
• Guidelines and ideas for managing your hybrid workplace & workforce.
• Where to start when creating specific hybrid workplace policies.

Join us in powering the future of work!

Become an OfficeRnD partner today.

Even prior to Covid, the workplace was changing. Working from home. Working in the office. Working from a coffee shop. Working from a coworking space. A combination of all of these. As the world rebounds from the pandemic, that change is accelerating. Companies are providing their employees with a lot more choice in terms of how and where they work. The “company office” is quickly becoming but one of many locations where work happens.

Consequently, many companies are choosing to have an office footprint that is smaller than the size of the team using it. This is creating a new challenge: Managing access to the workplace, the use of desks, meeting rooms, and other resources - all while keeping employees engaged.

OfficeRnD Hybrid helps companies enable and facilitate desk booking, meeting space reservation, visitor management, and much more!

Building a Sustainable Hybrid Workplace Model

Studies are showing that most companies will allow their employees to work from wherever they want - for half of the time. The rest will be spent in collaborative spaces where company culture is enforced and the sense of belonging is established.

Hybrid and flex work are here to stay because employees demand it. To keep up with the trend, companies would need to provide the proper solution. 

OfficeRnD dug deeper into the matter of building a sustainable hybrid workplace model and created a go-to guide for managing the future of work. You can download the e-book HERE.

Our insights:

• Benefits of a hybrid workplace model include lowered costs, high productivity, fostering creativity and company culture, and sustainability overall.
• With the right all-in-one software you can make easy and seamless transitions for your employees - who’s coming when, manage meeting rooms, even track the path of a Covid-19 positive employee.
• Technologies offered to employees and the business processes around the workspace can convey and foster company values and culture

Are we missing something? And how do you envision the future of your work?
