Hybrid working: how your people are working in 2022

News

As part of our ongoing partnership, IWFM and Ricoh are carrying out research into the future of the workplace in the new hybrid working landscape. While we await the results, we wanted to find out more about our LinkedIn followers’ experiences regarding hybrid working arrangements, digital integration, and cyber security.

First up was hybrid working with the question, ‘How are people currently hybrid working in your organisation?’

The mid-pandemic shift to home-working has seen many workplaces reconsider how, and where, their people do their best work.

This has been reflected in the mixed results. From 216 votes:

• 45% have complete flexibility in how they choose to work
• the working arrangements of 27% are left to their discretion or based on management guidance
• 14% have a designated rota for how they work
• 14% have no hybrid working at al.

Is your organisation still finding its feet in the hybrid working landscape? Are you unsure about how to devise and establish change in your workplace?

We have the resources to help you on your journey.
