As the COVID-19 pandemic enters its third year, companies need to keep a close eye on the progression of trends that will define 'work' in 2022. Here's a look at the key trends we suspect will shape a year:
The rise of the long-term hybrid work model
Remote work has evolved from a limited benefit to the norm and will remain so for the foreseeable future. One global study by the Capgemini Research Institute found that three-quarters of organizations across the US, Europe, and Asia expect 30% or more of their employees to be working remotely, and over a quarter expect over 70% of staff to work remotely.
At the same time, the fluid workplace is emerging as the norm for the future. A fluid workplace places little importance on location or geography, and employers will explore various work models to stay competitive. Randstad's research indicates that new work models like gig work, hybrid work, and part-time work are in the exploratory stage, with hybrid emerging as the most likely model of the future.
Hybrid has already become popular - and productive - and we believe it will become a permanent feature for organizations that realize that a flexible work culture will enhance employee productivity, satisfaction, and work-life balance. In many cases, the hybrid work model, driven by secure and agile technology, has proven to be effective for both companies and their employees.
It's therefore not surprising that organizations across all industries, sectors, and geographies have incorporated hybrid into their long-term work design as a way of future-proofing themselves, with the focus on employee-centric implementation.
