Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The hybrid workplace is here to stay, and it can bring together the best of both worlds – the convenience of working from home and the social interactions of the office. However, it’s important to be intentional about revisiting almost everything about your culture, and to avoid creating a two-tier experience.

#2

Company culture can be designed and built deliberately. It should start and end with the user in mind, and it should be a co-creation process. Very few companies have been able to work remotely for years, and by choice, not forced by a global pandemic.

#3

Focus on impact rather than input. Don’t reward presenteeism or long hours, but evaluate people based on goals and results rather than how late they stay in the office or how many Zoom calls they attend.

#4

The more we try to pursue work-life balance, the harder it becomes to achieve it. We must accept the increasingly fluid boundaries between work and personal life, and instead of building higher, stronger walls between them, we should try to harmonize what we deeply care about with our work.

#5

One of the biggest mistakes companies make when forced to work remotely is carrying old habits into a new way of working. Teams should adopt an async-first approach, which requires more intentionality and effort. But when people are thinking deeply and writing down their ideas, better collaboration and work result.

#6

It can be difficult for companies to adapt to the benefits of flexibility, but it is worth it. Teams should have the freedom to design their own hybrid approach.

#7

The evidence is clear: when done correctly, remote work increases productivity and work enjoyment.
