In this chapter, we push organizational leaders to consider broader implications of their company’s remote-first, office-forward, or hybrid strategy. Why do leaders want to adapt remote-first, office-forward, or hybrid? What do they hope to gain from their chosen strategy? What do they need to know they will not gain? To help organizational decision-makers answer these questions, we offer a brief summary of what research has uncovered about the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of each workplace strategy. Next, we return to the main focus of this book: finding alignment. We outline a series of alignment tactics that organizational leaders can implement to better align their workforce to their chosen workplace strategy. In doing so, we highlight the negatives of each workplace strategy: remote-first, office-forward, hybrid. We suggest that implementing alignment tactics specifically designed to fill those gaps is how organizational leaders can get their workforce to alignment.

摘要

In this chapter, we push organizational leaders to consider broader implications of their company’s remote-first, office-forward, or hybrid strategy. Why do leaders want to adapt remote-first, office-forward, or hybrid? What do they hope to gain from their chosen strategy? What do they need to know they will not gain? To help organizational decision-makers answer these questions, we offer a brief summary of what research has uncovered about the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of each workplace strategy. Next, we return to the main focus of this book: finding alignment. We outline a series of alignment tactics that organizational leaders can implement to better align their workforce to their chosen workplace strategy. In doing so, we highlight the negatives of each workplace strategy: remote-first, office-forward, hybrid. We suggest that implementing alignment tactics specifically designed to fill those gaps is how organizational leaders can get their workforce to alignment.
