The second wave of
Covid-19 has hit India Inc. hard. Just when optimism was finding grounds in
2021 the announcement of the second lockdown in major metros and big towns came
as a rude shock disturbing work schedules, targets and goals. But unlike last year,
the novelty of work-from-home has withered and the commercial morale has seen a
massive dip. No longer do employers and employees want to adhere to complete
remote working alternatives and are increasingly eying the option to
collaborate a healthy balance of remote work and office time. Wolfpack, a
leading company for best co-working space in Bangalore and
Kochi enlists the top 5 benefits of hybrid model co-working
spaces that perfectly address the future trends of working.
What is a Hybrid
Model of Work?
The hybrid working
model is a location-flexible arrangement that allows employees to combine
onsite and offsite work as per the mutual discretion of the internal team. In
the last year, a large number of hybrid arrangements have emerged, granting
employees a whole new culture of flexibility. Here are the top 3 benefits
of going hybrid.
Reduced Costs– At a time when businesses are looking at
great operational efficiency hybrid model shared spaces are making companies
financially less burdensome. Different models of hybrid working reduce monthly
infrastructural and operational costs significantly not to mention the relief
from real estate management. Looking at the uncertainty of the future ahead
companies and businesses, professionals and start-ups are embracing the
sustainability angle of the hybrid model of working. Besides, hybrid models are
a blessing for the employees too. With increased employee satisfaction the
company saves money on staff turnover and the resulting expenses it takes to
find a new suitable candidate to fill a skilled role. It’s a win-win for all.
Increased
Productivity– Irrespective
of the nature of your work, employees feel productive in a stimulating and
energetic environment. Productivity at WFH can be hampered by several factors
like poor ergonomics, noise and distraction and bad work ethos. Research shows
that till 2020 48% of employees felt productive when working from home, while
52% did not feel the same. This trend has seen a growing discontent for WFH in
2021. Interestingly, there was seen a boost in the mindset of productivity
among those WFH employees who got an opportunity for going to the office at
will—the most flexible of all of the work arrangements. This has augmented the
option of hybrid working co-working spaces where employees are allowed to
experience a change of setting, collaborate with their teams in physical mode
and be enthusiastic about getting the job done.
Empathy in Touch
times– A hybrid model
empowers the employees to call the shots. The pandemic has left each employee
with his challenges to deal with along with professional commitments. By
offering a sense of freedom regarding where they work employees
develop a strong bond of trust and commitment for the company that pays in the
long run. Besides, the hybrid model of working has shown considerable
improvement in job satisfaction during these times.
