If you are a leader of a global team, the data is clear, remote and hybrid work preferences differ across diverse geographies. One size fits none.
In a survey of 651 managers across 50 countries, a unique playlist of preferences, challenges and perspectives was unveiled.
Sad Truth
80% of executives said they would have approached their company’s return-to-office strategy differently if they had access to workplace data to inform their decision-making.
Many companies are realizing that they could have been a lot more measured in their approach, rather than making controversial decisions based on executives’ opinions rather than employee data.
Geographical & Cultural Beat
The yearning for physical office presence varied substantially and the melody of remote productivity swayed differently across cultures.
While the chord for social connections harmonizes in some areas, it resonates less in others. These nuances ripple through employee engagement and well-being scores, a composition of cultural contrasts.
The crescendo of hybrid work’s impact on well-being strikes a beautiful chord at different frequencies. These regional melodies guide us into an intriguing terrain of work-life harmony, revealing why return-to-office rates compose a distinctive melody across continents.
The symphony of hybrid work reverberates across the globe, but global team leadership demands a new conductor’s stance, one that listens to the orchestra’s unique geographical and cultural beat.
