4 Common Myths About the Hybrid Office & How to Work Smarter [Infographic] 

More than two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, many employees continue to feel the pressure working from home. While remote work provided new flexibility and opportunity, it was also a recipe for burnout. 

The average staffer sends 42% more chats afterhours than they used to, and slightly more than one-half (54%) say they’re overworked, according to the Microsoft 2021 Work Trend Index 

Hybrid work arrangements have been a welcome development for many. Many see value in face-to-face interactions with managers and coworkers, with 67% of those surveyed in the Work Trend Index wanting more in-person work or collaboration post-pandemic.  

Still, a divide remains: only one-third of business and HR leaders strongly believe their organization is building high levels of trust between workers and their direct supervisors in today’s work model.  

So how do you reclaim balance and build long-term success in a hybrid model? Check out the infographic below:
