Recommendation

More than a year of working from home has fundamentally altered the workplace, making a return to pre-pandemic office life unlikely. The most commonly touted new arrangement is the location-flexible hybrid work model. Yet writer Richard Morgan cautions employers not to underestimate the challenge of managing team members working in two very different environments. After talking to both work-from-home enthusiasts and critics, he concludes that hybrid work may not be the panacea you’d hoped for.

Take-Aways

  • The hybrid workplace will be difficult to manage.
  • The pandemic highlighted both the advantages and pitfalls of remote work.
  • Working from home shifted power to employees, forcing managers to rethink their role.
