The four dimensions of hybrid work success

Why do all four dimensions matter? Because problems in any one of them can jeopardize success in the other three.

Problems? What problems?

You may have seen some yourself.

A lot went right… But not everything.

Why not?

Leading organizations tackled the hybrid work challenge across four dimensions.

People and
culture

People who feel isolated and disconnected from what used to be a collaborative work culture.

Technology

Technology that too often produces inconsistent, or suboptimal, or do-your-own-IT kinds of experiences.

Policy

Policy that lacks the flexibility to adjust for the new and different work styles preferred by employees.

Facilities

Facilities that pioneer new tools and ways of using space—except no one’s using them.

The good news

Leading companies are spearheading strategies of success in each of the four areas—by addressing all four areas at once.

People and
culture

Strategy: Build a culture of inclusivity, with technology that supports collaboration and innovation for all employees.

See what that looks like

Policy

Strategy: Develop a long-term cross-functional remote work policy that prioritizes productivity, rather than physical proximity.

See how most companies are doing in the policy dimension

Facilities

Strategy: Transform facilities to unleash new possibilities for collaboration, both for those on-site and for those connecting remotely.

See how we did it ourselves

Technology

Strategy: Provide secure enterprise-class access to resources from anywhere, and easy access to IT support.
