54%: New Strategies for Finding Balance at Work
As companies transition into hybrid work environments and embrace more flexibility, finding balance at work will become an increasingly important challenge. In order to achieve this balance, companies need to experiment and make space for employee feedback while truly listening to them. Anne Helen Petersen, co-author of the book Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working from Home, discusses this topic in the WorkLab podcast with host Elise Hu, highlighting the opportunity to reinvent work in the shift to hybrid mode. They focus on ways to make work more meaningful and promote well-being.
The dynamic nature of Hybrid work means that companies must adapt to new strategies in order to cope with the new normal. Employees' feedback must be taken seriously to ensure a healthy work environment, where work-life balance is properly managed. Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working from Home is a highly recommended book for both employers and employees navigating the new working system.
