Hybrid work is here to stay. For both employees and employers, work from anywhere is about owning results, regardless of where or when work happens.
Our work from anywhere future research conducted by Prithwiraj Choudbury, Associate Professor, Harvard Business School, reports that workers regard freedom to work from anywhere as an important benefit of their job.
Successful employers are creating policies to ensure virtual collaboration, mentoring, and asynchronous brainstorming for those who work from anywhere.
Employers need to communicate how their approach to management is evolving as work from anywhere expands. This means clearly defining how they will create a fair and equitable workplace for all employees regardless of location, communicate how leaders will manage employees they never physically see, and how teams will achieve work flexibility while meeting their goals.
