Preparing for the post-pandemic future of work means more than just supporting a remote workforce. The hybrid, work-from-anywhere workforce is here for the foreseeable future, and organizations that do not embrace it could experience significant retention, engagement, and talent acquisition challenges. 2 Furthermore, many enterprises have seen an increase in worker productivity as workers spend time previously used for commuting and travel on productive work and on well-being activities that in turn promote productivity. More than half (54 percent) of employees surveyed from around the world would consider leaving their jobs post-COVID-19 pandemic if they are not given some form of flexibility in where and when they work. 1Įmployees, too, have become accustomed to more flexible work arrangements, and many are demanding that these continue post-pandemic. In fact, 68 percent of the nearly 300 executives interviewed as part of Deloitte’s April 2021 Return to Workplaces survey reported that they intend for their corporate workforce to operate in a hybrid model. The majority of the workforce does not want to return to 100% in-office work, and neither do most employers. Now that stop-gap solutions are in place, enterprises should begin to think holistically about their future Digital Workplace strategy.Īlthough pandemic-related restrictions are slowly being lifted, remote work is not going away. Organizations reacted to the crisis, and quickly-and in many cases heroically-bolted on technology solutions to “stop the bleeding” and sustain productivity and business continuity. The pandemic spurred a global shift to remote work, which in turn required urgent triage of the Digital Workplace to enable business continuity. The rise of the hybrid worker is a catalyst for re-architecting the Digital Workplace.

At Deloitte, we have seen a massive upswing in clients seeking guidance on how to evolve their Digital Workplace to architect, enable, and operationalize Work from Anywhere.
As the pandemic subsides, there is now a much more urgent call to action to reimagine the Digital Workplace to truly unlock business value in the new era of the hybrid workforce. Prior to the disruptive overnight shift to remote work, many organizations were only beginning to reinvent their workplaces and re-architect how and where work gets done to meet the needs of a hybrid workforce. The pandemic provided a glimpse into the incredible opportunities of the future of work.
