We have hybrid cars and trucks. Hybrid foods (cronut, anyone?). And now hybrid work environments.
Coupled with cloud technology, a hybrid workplace can lower your overhead and increase your bottom line.
The Evolution of Effective Communication
A hybrid work environment means employees work partially remote and partially in the office/on site.
In 2021, only 33% of team conversations happened in person. Gartner Surveys predicts that number to drop to 25% by 2024.
This means your team needs a way to communicate, meet, and collaborate seamlessly regardless of where they are. Do you have the right collaboration tools in place?
The Cost of Effective Communication
A recent Bloomberg article detailed how employees are dreading the Return to Office (RTO) trend.
Google searches for believable excuses as to why they can’t RTO have sky-rocketed, and it’s costing employers.
A lot.
$26,041 per employee per year to be exact.
According to 400 surveyed companies with 100,000+ employees, barriers in communication (no remote capabilities, lack of communication skills, time needed to communicate, etc.) can cost businesses upwards of $62.4 million each year in lost productivity alone.
