With the option of returning to physical office spaces coming ever closer, companies are beginning to think more carefully about what office life should look like. In particular, business leaders are assessing the advantages and disadvantages of various answers to the following questions.
Answers to the first two of these questions are discussed by Lauren Hirsch and Matthew Haag in their New York Times article. For example, it was noted that Spotify recently launched their “Work From Anywhere” initiative, which will allow any of its 6,550 employees to work from wherever they want. On the hybrid side of the tripartite divide, Revolut, a banking start-up based in London is reported by the New York Times as planning to allow its more than 2,000 employees to work abroad for up to two months a year. Google will be enacting a different approach to hybrid work schedules with their “flexible workweeks” during which employees will spend at least three days a week in the office and the rest at home. Finally, on the everyone in the office side, companies like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase expect most employees to return to the office for most of the time.
As can be seen based on the variety of strategies listed above, there is no one size fits all solution. So, how can you determine which strategy is right for your particular business? Here are some questions to consider when making that decision.
