Deep dives
Companies Navigate Hybrid Work Challenges
Organizations are facing challenges in defining post-pandemic work arrangements. The balance of power between employers and employees has shifted, leading to debates on hybrid work models. While flexibility was initially embraced, organizations like Northrop Grumman maintained a clear in-office culture. Some companies struggle post-pandemic due to unclear workplace culture.
Balancing Employee Wellbeing Programs
Employers are reevaluating wellbeing programs post-pandemic. Employees value pay, mentorship, growth opportunities, and flexibility over perks. Encouraging employees to take responsibility for their wellbeing and engagement is crucial. CHROs emphasize creating a culture-based approach to wellbeing programs.
Productivity Challenges in Hybrid Work
Productivity impacts of hybrid and remote work vary across industries and tasks. Academic research often contrasts with leaders' perceptions of remote work productivity. Striking a balance between remote work benefits and in-office collaboration remains a key challenge for organizations.
Transitioning to Skills-Based Hiring
Companies are exploring skills-based hiring to diversify talent pools. While moving away from traditional credentials, many organizations remain cautious in fully implementing AI-driven hiring processes. Proactively collecting data and customizing workforce strategies are seen as essential steps towards future hiring practices.
