How to Sustain and Strengthen Corporate Culture
The pandemic will be remembered as the catalyst to workplace change. It sparked the transition from predominantly office-based work to hybrid work arrangements, causing employers to reimagine fundamental workplace practices.
Employees want hybrid work
Since the pandemic, employee sentiment has evolved and there is a strong preference for hybrid working. According to ELMO’s Employee Sentiment Index1, only 10% of New Zealand workers want to return to a traditional work environment, with the other 90% wanting varying degrees of a mix of face-to-face and remote working.
The new employee experience
Pre-pandemic, the employee experience (EX) aimed to cultivate connection, purpose and belonging, but international lockdowns and forced remote working shifted its focus to employee engagement, wellbeing, safety, and compliance.
The impact on corporate culture
A hybrid work environment has the capability to enhance workforce culture if it is managed well. As we adapt and embrace the changing face of business, we take a look at how to sustain and strengthen corporate culture in our eBook: ‘Employee Engagement in a Hybrid World’.
