Pioneering the New Norms of Hybrid and Remote Work
In the modern professional arena, a profound shift is taking place. The traditional 9-to-5, five days a week in-office work model is being steadily replaced by hybrid and remote work arrangements. This transition, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, is not a transient change but a substantial evolution in our work culture. It’s a move that’s reshaping the organizational landscape, bringing with it a myriad of benefits and challenges. I delved into the intricacies of this transition through insightful dialogues with three industry leaders: Nino Cornish, Director of Human Resources at eCore, Evelyn Lee, Head of Workplace Strategy and Innovation at Slack, and Bryan Porcher, Head of Workplace and Real Estate at Next Insurance.

One of the most salient points that emerged from the discussions is the consensus on the myriad benefits of flexible work models. Nino Cornish elucidated on how hybrid and remote work models foster enhanced work-life balance, focused concentration, and significant savings in commute time and costs. These advantages ripple through the organization, creating a conducive environment for attracting and retaining talent, thereby reducing turnover and driving profitability.
