Your Boss Is Over Hybrid Work. Here’s How to Keep Your Flexibility.
By Ray A. Smith | November 14, 2022
Topics: Hybrid Workplaces
Summary: As the pandemic eases, some companies are backpedaling on the promises they made to workers about being able to work remotely or having control over their working hours. Many managers are not fully confident hybrid employees are productive and they are calling employees back to the office. Managers are getting stricter on enforcing in-office attendance and they are factoring office attendance into employee performance reviews. Employees who want to maintain the flexibility of remote work should follow the best practices outlined in the article to convince their bosses that they are just as productive when they are not working in an office. Clear and consistent lines of communication are essential. Employees need to send consistent updates using their bosses’ preferred channel of communication. They could create a shared calendar and a shared document that tracks progress on tasks. When managers have information, they avoid the urge to micromanage.
Questions:
Why is it becoming harder for employees to hold on to the flexible policies companies adopted early in the pandemic?
Why do some managers believe that hybrid workers are not as productive as in-office workers are?
want to convince your boss that you are just as productive when you are not working in e office, what tactics should you use?
What best practices should companies use to support hybrid work?
Elon Musk recently acquired Twitter and he has completely flipped the company’s previous policies on remote work. He told workers that they need to be willing to work “long hours at high intensity.” How could the company use change management best practices to encourage employees to embrace the new views of work?
