As we start the countdown to 2023 it makes sense to look at the Future of Work trends for Remote and Hybrid Work that companies and employers should look out for.
1. Demand for Flexibility: As employees come more to terms with work-life balance and integration, the ask for flexibility and freedom will be treated more as an understood right and valid expectation than a privilege. At the same time, employers will understand that flexibility cannot come at the risk of sustained productivity and predictability and will start investing in Risk Managing Remote and Hybrid workplaces.
2. Opportunity and Competition to Skyrocket: When employees will consistently be able to access roles and positions in international firms through remote work, the competition for quality and skills will only intensify because companies would also have a global pool of talent to pick and choose from.
3. Growth in Investment in Cybersecurity: With confidential data handled remotely, it is only natural for cybersecurity to be taken more seriously than before. A global Cisco survey showed that over 85 per cent of organizations say that for them, the importance of cybersecurity is more now than before the pandemic. Cybersecurity risk management will come into its own.
4. More Strategic Hiring & Onboarding Processes: With a vast talent pool to hire from, companies will make their hiring plan a mechanism that works effectively to get applications from the right target market and sector while smoothly filtering out the unsuitable ones.
5. The Future of Work to Harmonize With Training Policies: Companies will work on forming strong training policies that manage to look after employee wellness as well as organizational wellness, without compromising on company culture and productivity.
