Almost one-fifth (19%) of organizations are disregarding hybrid work strategies by asking staff to come back to the office full-time.

However, 81% are enabling some degree of flexibility, according to research by Poly. On average, companies are asking employees to come in three days per week.

Poly’s “Recruit, Retain and Grow” report shows that more than three-quarters (77%) of firms plan to redesign the office experience for the hybrid work era. This includes more open-plan areas, collaboration spaces, areas to socialize and quiet zones.

But less than half (48%) are fully prepared for the future of hybrid work, while 37% are only prepared in the short-term.
