Managers face the challenge of having employees narrowly define their contributions and believe that they can do their job from home without considering the importance of integrating and collaborating with teammates. The focus on smart objectives and performance has led to a loss of organizational and team behaviors, making employees not accountable for these aspects.

An optimal solution for hybrid work is likely to be three days a week.
