THE CHALLENGE
“The big quit.”
That’s what HR officials are calling the post COVID-19 labor market because so many employees are deciding to quit rather than return to full-time on-site work. One in two people report they won’t return to jobs that don’t offer remote work.1 Not surprisingly, nine in ten large companies intend to embrace a hybrid working model, with many employees expected to come into the office one to four days a week.2 Work expectations have changed forever and companies that try to buck the trend risk losing the war for talent in a tight labor market.
Making hybrid work successful requires thought and planning. Mishandling the return to on-site work can present legal problems and risks reinforcing social inequality. This toolkit will help organizations successfully transition to a hybrid work model.
The Return to On-Site Work toolkit was developed in partnership with the Better Life Lab at New America.
New America is dedicated to renewing the promise of America, bringing us closer to our nation’s highest ideals. We’re a different kind of think tank: one dedicated to public problem solving. Our team of visionary researchers, changemakers, technologists, storytellers study and seize the opportunities presented by dramatic social and technological change. We search for powerful ideas, wherever they are, and collaborate with civic innovators around the country to develop evidence-based solutions.
