1 You embrace the hybrid culture. Work from home became the norm for two years and towards the end of 2022, and many people still prefer doing that. A recent poll by Partners In Leadership, a pathbreaking consulting firm focused on leadership training and development, confirms that when employees are happier at work, 85 per cent say they take more initiative; 73 per cent say they are better collaborators; and 48 per cent care more about their work. Effective leaders who understand the correlation between higher levels of engagement, happiness, and productivity facilitate movement in the right direction - and have people feel good about it. Understanding and helping colleagues and teams be happier will impact their efficiency positively even in this hybrid scenario. As a business leader who stands up for this hybrid flexibility, you will invite higher loyalty and an increase in team output with your support.
