The evolution of the hybrid working model has been fast, and it’s quickly become accepted as a mainstream practice and a business norm. Research backs up hybrid: 78% of employees say hybrid working has enhanced their overall wellbeing, and 51% said they would quit their jobs if asked to give up their new hybrid working model.
Hybrid working is enabled by the digital workplace, which has also evolved into a strategic issue. The digital workplace is all about empowering companies and employees and delivering business benefits in terms of productivity, happiness and worker loyalty – all enabled by an effective employee experience (EX). And research shows that good EX itself positively impacts the bottom line: strong EX makes companies 25% more profitable and doubles customer satisfaction rates.
