Does "one-size-fit-all" for hybrid?

In most cases, no.  â€‹

Our findings show that over 90% of associates prefer a hybrid plan that aligns to the unique needs of their department or team versus a broadly implemented a "one-size-fits-all" approach across the organization.

​

Balanced Hybrid™ makes it easy to tailor a hybrid work plan to the unique needs of your various departments, aligning with associate sentiment while still addressing the underlying objectives of your RTO policy.

The benefits of optimizing hybrid

Optimizing your hybrid work strategy can generate cost savings and give you a competitive advantage. Not doing so can cost your organization, division, or department, money, talent, momentum, and growth.

Reduce attrition of

new hires & top performers

Balanced Hybrid™ reduces attrition by designing a hybrid work environment where your new hires can onboard, engage and learn, and where your top talent is not driven away by office-return mandates they view excessive.
