Employers afraid of a hybrid system of work

Poly has published a report that explores how organizations are responding to employee workplace needs. A new study looks at work policies, culture, and wellness practices through the lens of more than 2,500 global business decision-makers. The post-pandemic attitudes and expectations highlighted in the survey show that employees visit the office three days a week, with Wednesday being the most popular day.

“At Poly, we believe that the ability to create a hybrid work environment is not the ultimate goal but the starting point for the organization. Our latest research supports this point of view,” John Goodwin, Senior Vice President of Public Affairs at Poly, said.

However, employees are enthusiastic about companies that take a holistic approach to define their culture, offer flexibility in where and how they work and provide the right tools to be successful.

More than half (56 percent) of all organizations believe that if they do not deal with their hybrid processes and work plans, they will start to lose employees and will not be able to attract new talent. This was especially true in Asia, Australia, and Oceania (APAC) region as high as 60 percent, compared to 55 percent in the EMEA region and 53 percent in the Americas.
