The pandemic has fundamentally changed how we work, live, and consume. And the corporate world is taking notice. So, hybrid work models are on the rise, but what does that mean?
We’re going to summarize (and add to) an excellent guide from Microsoft on what to expect from and how to adapt to this new normal.
“Everything becomes more complex, not less
complex, in hybrid work,”Satya Nadella
People
How will you create the culture to support hybrid work?
- Set a clear policy for flexible work: new conditions require new norms. Make sure policies and guidelines for hybrid work are clear and determined ahead of time.
- Build a listening system: analytics are the digital heartbeat of the remote workplace. Microsoft’s workplace analytics provide critical insights for leaders to understand the wellbeing of employees.
Places
The workplace is no longer a purely physical, geographically determined concept.
- Use Microsoft Power Platform to build no-code/low-code apps that enable employees to do everything from health checks to reserving meeting space.
- Move everything to the cloud ASAP: manage identities and devices with Microsoft’s secure hybrid cloud environment.
