IDC busts 5 hybrid work myths

As organisations have embraced hybrid working, leaders are looking to strategically change their businesses. IDC believes that leadership is the backbone of business transformation as organisations are facing unprecedented challenges in managing their workforce and business. Leaders must manage the obstacles arising from new hybrid work models while enhancing employee and customer experience.

Companies with traditional command and control leaders are seeing their employees leaving at a higher rate. Those leaders are more reluctant to offer flexible work models and want all employees to work fully from the office.

According to IDC's Future of Work Global Survey in April 2022, 42% of IT and Line of Business leaders still had difficulty trusting employees to accomplish work while working remotely.

Dr Lily Phan

“Empathy must lead to actions. Great leaders take the responsibility to make positive changes happen and make sure they have practised enterprise-wide."

Dr Lily Phan

"Leaders who are real change agents set examples to make others truly believe that changes are genuine and long-term,” says Dr Lily Phan, research director for future of work, IDC Asia/Pacific.

Here are five hybrid work myths:

Myth #1: Hybrid is temporary. Many organisations initially assumed that because the COVID-19 pandemic was the cause of a global shift to remote work, its remission would in turn herald a return to "normal" nine to five, five days a week in-person work models.

Myth #2: Hybrid work decreases productivity. The big insight around productivity in the past two years has been that traditional performance indicator, such as tasks completed or time to close, only partially or inaccurately measure productivity.

Myth #3: Hybrid work will dissolve corporate culture. As months turned into years of hybrid work, many leaders feared that hybrid work arrangements and the rise in employee resignations would lead to a loss of their organisation's fundamental culture.

Myth #4: Hybrid work makes teaming more difficult. No doubt that teaming across geographies, functions, and on-premises-remote divides is more difficult in many ways, and yet it is also easier in others.

Myth #5: Hybrid work will mean the death of the office. It is clear the repercussions of hybrid and remote work for corporate real estate have been devastating, with many organisations choosing to opt for shorter two-year versus traditional 10-year leases or opting to forgo large corporate headquarter arrangements for hybrid or smaller satellite office models.
