FEATURE : HYBRID WORK
Teams that are struggling to innovate remotely threaten the longevity of their organisation . Innovation outputs are paramount for commercial success . If employees are not empowered to be creative and come up with ideas remotely , the successful rise of hybrid work will fail to become a reality .
The hybrid way
To label flexible working as a failure in response to innovation decline would be very wrong . Distributed teams are the new reality as an overwhelming majority of the EMEA workforce , 81 % report a higher job satisfaction if they can work from anywhere .

Post-pandemic anywhere work policies have resulted in positive impacts across the board with half of EMEA enjoying improvements in communication with managers , morale , and collaboration . Gone are the days of traditional office
