What is the Agile Workplace trend?
Agile Workplace: The post-pandemic workplace demands more flexibility than before. The average office worker knows how to be productive from home, making the idea of being in the office full-time harder to justify. Thus, hybrid workplaces are more common than ever; however, these come with a unique set of challenges that organizations in the industry aim to solve.
Insight
The consumer insight behind the Agile Workplace trend
The pandemic represented an era of compounded stress. Consumers weighed the emotional distress of living through a global pandemic, political unrest, and general uncertainty alongside the responsibilities they already had (such as busy work schedules) and learned to re-prioritize. As a result, the necessity of the conventional workweek was called into question. Many consumers see this as a positive result of the pandemic and a move toward a more equitable relationship with their professional lives.
