61%: Flexibility, Autonomy, and Managing Through Hybrid
As more and more companies shift towards hybrid work environments, it's become clear that there is no perfect solution that works for everyone. According to a recent report by Microsoft, 61% of workers listed "social interaction" as their top reason for wanting to come into the office. At the same time, an equal number cited the elimination of daily commutes as their primary incentive for working from home.
To navigate this complex landscape, managers need to understand the importance of flexibility and autonomy. In this episode of the WorkLab podcast, Dr. David Rock, a leadership expert, discusses the role of managers in creating an environment that encourages motivation, regardless of where employees choose to work. As companies seek to adapt to the hybrid era, it is essential that they prioritize the needs and preferences of their employees to ensure their success.
Listen to the full WorkLab podcast to learn more about how managers can support their teams in the age of hybrid work.
