6. Hybrid Work Is Dominating the Office Landscape
globest.com: June 24, 2021
A hybrid approach with employer guardrails appears to be a popular model moving forward. |

|
When Julie Whelan, Global Head of Occupier Thought Leadership at CBRE, looks at the company’s surveys, she sees a clear trend—the way that employees engage with the workplace will be more flexible in the future.
Whelan said that 80% of respondents want a more hybrid workplace.
“But the nuance is that we offered them two options with hybrid,” Whelan said on CBRE’s “The Weekly Take” podcast. “One is hybrid with company guidance, and the other was hybrid, where employees have total freedom to choose.”
CBRE found that no one chose the “fully in the office” option and nearly everyone chose the hybrid approach with company guidance. Whelan says this means there will be “some degree of guardrails put in place where employees understand how to operate in the flexible world.”
