How to make the most of hybrid work arrangements
CTV
After more than two years of working from home, many Canadians are gradually returning to the office as more COVID-19 public health restrictions are lifted. For those still on the fence about returning to the office full-time, a hybrid work arrangement can be a solution, said media consultant Mohit Rajhans.
For those still on the fence about returning to the office full-time, a hybrid work arrangement can be a solution, said Mohit Rajhans, a media consultant at ThinkStart.ca. This is a model that combines remote work with office work. A recent survey conducted by Amazon Business discovered that 43 per cent of Canadian workers said they would likely look for a new job if they were forced to work from the office on a full-time basis.
“We're building, in real-time, this efficiency equation,” Rajhans told CTV’s Your Morning on Wednesday. “How are we going to be able to prove that we're really competent enough to be able to handle this hybrid work situation, [that] it's efficient for all different types of people, and it's able to accommodate any type of scenario that is put in front of them?”
The shift to remote work has led to greater digital integration, Rajhans said. This places an emphasis on ensuring employees have access to the technological tools necessary to be productive, he said.
“Some people are just denied basic high-speed internet access and [unable] to efficiently do their work,” Rajhans said. “What we have to do is focus on how to scale up our workforce [and] how to make sure all people feel like they've got the flexibility that's equal.”
