A recent survey by the strategy consultancy McKinsey showed that 90 percent of all companies will work hybrid in the future.
Dusseldorf What’s worse than face-to-face meetings? Well, you guessed it: Meetings in which some of the participants are on-site and some are connected from their laptop or mobile phone.
We all know the excesses of this quite new phenomenon in our working world: cut-off faces on screens that giggle silently in meeting rooms. Colleagues who dial in while out and about and speak against the volume level in the S-Bahn. And lots and lots of black tiles.
“Meetings in a mixed, hybrid mode are really awful,” summarizes British-American economist Nicholas Bloom of Stanford University. “But: Unfortunately, they are sometimes unavoidable.”
A recent survey by the strategy consultancy McKinsey showed that 90 percent of all companies will work hybrid in the future – that is, a combination of remote and on-site work. In a DAX survey by the Handelsblatt at the end of June, all corporations even answered that they would in future rely on a mixture of face-to-face and home-based work.
