As work styles continue to diversify, 57% of HR and IT leaders report that employee satisfaction at work has improved according to Omdia - Future of Work study.
On hybrid work set-up
Gathering data and insights on the key workplace transformation priorities and business challenges, the study also reveals that employee satisfaction decreases when companies mandate them to work onsite and half (50%) of the employees prefer working in a fully remote or hybrid work set-up.
A good number of respondents are positive about hybrid work agreeing that it eliminates location barriers (67%), makes them feel connected to a team (63%), allows them to feel less marginalised (61%), and helps close gender gaps in recruitment (59%). The majority (69%) also believes that hybrid work opens more opportunities for differently-abled employees, supporting diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI).
Digital partners
The Future of Work report further reveals that most businesses (76%) are reconsidering their partnerships with existing digital service providers as they desire better support from them.
“More diverse work styles have impacted employee productivity, satisfaction and customer experience. And businesses need the help of digital partners, processes and technologies in navigating successful future of work initiatives," said Adam Holtby, Omdia principal analyst, Mobile Workspace and author of the Future of Work report.
“Our research assists solution providers and technology professionals to better understand how they can support clients' digital workplace challenges and transformation priorities.”
