Let Teams Decide Their Approach To Hybrid Work, Survey Says
Teamwork makes the hybrid policy work.
When it comes to hybrid work, 46% of employees reported being engaged when their team determines their own policy of when to come into the office, according to a November Gallup survey. By contrast, 41% of respondents are content to make the decision individually, and just 35% reported being engaged if leadership determines the top-down policy for everyone.
It makes sense when you think about it. Team members know best what they need in order to collaborate and socialize together effectively. After all, the only useful function of the office is to facilitate collaboration, socialization and mentoring: people are much more productive on their individual tasks at home. It’s often the case that rank-and-file teams want to determine what works best for their needs.
