What do you think? Embracing the Future of Work: Remote, Hybrid, and What Comes Next

As businesses continue to struggle to adapt to the shifting workplace dynamics, the question of how and where we work has never been more relevant. Having led teams across different industries and countries and having worked within 2 large global organizations, I’ve seen first-hand how flexible work models can transform productivity, employee satisfaction, and business performance. There are few puzzles that are more critical to solve then how and where we work. I am crafting a series of insights/articles on this topic and am eager to hear from you—my community of leaders, professionals, and thinkers.

The Changing Landscape: Remote and hybrid work models have become a permanent fixture in today’s business world, offering flexibility to employees while pushing organizations to rethink how they operate. From the rise of fully remote roles to hybrid setups and the demand from management to "get back to the office", businesses are facing significant opportunities and challenges.

My upcoming series will explore:

  • Leadership styles suited for remote and hybrid work
  • Employee well-being and engagement in a distributed workforce
  • The role of technology in driving collaboration and productivity
  • Metrics for success in the modern workplace
  • How to sustain and grow organizational culture in remote and hybrid environments

Your Thoughts Matter! I’m reaching out to gather insights from those of you who are navigating these challenges in real time. Whether you’re leading a team, working remotely, part of a hybrid workforce or trying to get people back into the office, I’d love to hear your perspective:

  • How has remote or hybrid work impacted your productivity or team dynamics?
  • What leadership approaches do you find most effective in a distributed setting?
  • What tools and technologies have made the biggest difference in your work environment?
  • What do you think work will look like in 5 years from now? How do you want it to work?

Please share your thoughts in the comments below or send me a message. Your feedback will help shape my series, and I’ll be sure to highlight some of your insights in my upcoming articles.

Let’s build this conversation together and explore how we can embrace the future of work.

Optionally is key. Employees should be willing to show up to work if & when “required”. We should see this as one of the tools we have at our disposal. If there is full alignment from top to bottom and bottom up, the “candidate do” attitude should kick in to make impossible possible to support your organization.

Peter, you couldn’t have picked a more relevant and controversial subject. Looking forward to the series and all the permutations surrounding this topic. This isn’t just about employer/employee sentiments, as it has such a ripple affect.

My last role was born out of team members being sent home to work out of caution during the pandemic. It became imperative to find ways to deliberately connect in genuine human ways, using technology to help us relate to each other during a very vulnerable time. Putting resources into the culture around hybrid working is essential to making things work well. The thing is, flexibility and adaptability have always been competencies in business; they're just applied to different environmental factors these days and organizations who don't realize that will see their productivity, morale, and retention suffer.

I agree. To stay agile in the workplace businesses need to be more adaptive and considerate of their employees' work environments. When employees can be productive in any environment, why force them to be confined to the walls of office cubicles? For your team to be thriving working from home with increased productivity and balanced mental health would be a win-win for all parties involved. This is especially true when companies are downsizing office spaces to save on real estate overhead yet not reinvesting those dollars saved back into their employees' salaries. These companies are saving money and forcing people to come into the office. Imagine going to work in the office and having to scramble or book a desk and even when you do there's no space to have coaching sessions, private meetings etc. We all know there are benefits to in-person meetings when they have collaborative team-building purposes. To force staff to come into the office just to fill cubicles doesn't make great business sense.
