Once in a generation (if that), we have the opportunity to reimagine how we work. The emergence of remote work has done just that.
When we think of remote work, chances are we’re taken back to March 2020, when the workforce all around the world suddenly seemed to shift overnight.
In reflecting on the journey of the organization I’m honored to serve, MAHEC, I’m in awe of the adaptability each of our employees displayed as they cared incredibly for our patients, learners, community, and each other while adjusting to this new reality.
Fast-forward nearly three years and we’ve all been asking: What’s the future of remote work? What kind of work environment do we want to create to ensure success for organizations and their employees?
Research has shown us that hybrid models, or a mix of in-person and remote work, are effective and here to stay.
We know the benefits of both – time to work remotely affords the ability to focus and balance life, and time to work in-person offers opportunities to connect with each other. Most of us find that traditional models of work often require a great deal of sacrifice whether that sacrifice is time with our families, our chosen community, or the time needed to care for ourselves. However, hybrid working has unlocked new ways of integrating life and work.
