Hybrid help from office to home

We are looking forward to the world opening again this summer, so as businesses prepare for employees returning to the workplace and adjust to the flexible, hybrid working model, ZenOffice is helping our customers transition easily and safely.

The creation of hybrid office space is becoming the norm, businesses are reacting positively to changes, improving employee performance and encouraging employees’ wellbeing along the way.
So, what does the future look like? The rise in remote working is making a lasting impact, and whilst working from home 100% of the time may not be standard practice as it can harm employee wellbeing or not suit business models, hybrid working looks set to become conventional
According to Barclays employee Paul Hubble, as reported by the BBC, productivity at work is improving.
Paul used to have to leave his home in Eastbourne, East Sussex, at 06:10 to get to his desk at Barclays’ London headquarters in Canary Wharf by 09:00 – a morning [and evening return] commute of two-and-a-half hours

But since home working became the norm for Barclays employees, Paul says he can get more done.

How can you help to create the conditions for an effective culture, improve productivity and increase employee wellbeing in the hybrid environment?

Remain accountable.

Accountability is key to an effective culture because it reminds people their work matters, and it reminds them how important it is to the company and the team.

Many organisations have already adopted meeting and collaboration technology solutions such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google to bridge the gap between office and home. Hybrid working spaces for meetings and hot-desking will ensure regular face-to-face contact and staying in touch for regular updates with employees and clients alike bit?? in person and virtually is key.

Provide comfort with safety in mind.
