The future of work is here and it's hybrid Flexible work is here to stay, and the talent landscape has fundamentally shifted. With 2020 behind us, we’re on the brink of a disruption as great as last year’s sudden shift to remote work: the move to hybrid. Remote work has given employees more flexibility and created job opportunities in new locations. But there are also challenges ahead. Teams have become more siloed and digital exhaustion is a real and unsustainable threat. With over 40 percent of the global workforce considering leaving their employer this year, a thoughtful approach to hybrid work will be critical. To help, the 2021 Work Trend Index outlines findings from a study of over 30,000 people in 31 countries and an analysis of trillions of productivity and labor signals across Microsoft 365 and LinkedIn – plus insights from experts on collaboration, social capital, and space design at work.
