India – Only a few years ago, newspapers in India ran some unsettling headlines: according to a survey, 60% of Indian workers said their work-life balance ranged from average to horrible.

Since then, there has been a pandemic and a sharp increase in remote work, and the outcomes are giving office and facilities managers their best chance yet to make things right. Prime Minister Modi recently gave a big vote of confidence to the movement for hybrid work, arguing in favour of remote work and asserting that people will favour firms who provide flexibility.

Therefore, organisations all over the world are seriously considering how they use their workplace and how they may improve the employee experience now that hybrid working is here to stay.

There are valid justifications for doing so. Although it makes sound business sense to make sure that desks and conference rooms are fully utilised, the human element is now a top priority.

The greatest talent must be retained, and this depends on providing employees with pleasant experiences that foster wellbeing and productivity each time they enter the workplace. Workers have grown more demanding about their working conditions.

Even though it has been proven that working from home is effective, convincing employees to visit the office is now more difficult than ever before. According to an AWA survey of 80,000 employees worldwide, workers spend, on average, just 1.4 days per week working in the office.

As a result, office managers work hard to make their workplaces inviting places to be, evaluating the sorts of space they offer and whether they suit the way their staff members now operate. While some organisations are restructuring to meet the demands of hybrid working for flexibility and cooperation, others are downsizing.

Additionally, employers are urged to lead with empathy. According to Gartner®, “HR directors must design work around employee-driven flexibility, deliberate collaboration, and empathy-based management in order to establish a new, human-centric model that is suited for the hybrid environment.”

The route to hybrid success is being approached differently by each organisation, but the majority of them believe that our notion of the office and what we do there will alter in the future. According to Deloitte, offices will increasingly be used for in-person meetings and team-based activities that foster cooperation and innovation. Employees will still be able to complete more specialised duties and assignments remotely.

That makes sense, but if not organised properly, it could become disorganised. And that’s a problem in many workplaces: according to AT&T’s Future of Work research, hybrid working will be the norm by 2024, yet 72% of companies still don’t have a clear strategy in place for it.
