1) Creating a deliberate culture in a hybrid world

Many companies plan to maintain increased remote working for the long term and are asking themselves, ‘How do we ensure we have an attractive, high performing culture in a hybrid world of work?’

A desire to continue remote working makes sense given the upsides experienced by many

Improved employee satisfaction
Reduced absence
Increased productivity
Cost savings
Opportunities to expand the talent pool

However, recent research carried out by Management Today suggests that more than 70% of businesses are finding it harder to maintain their culture the longer people are working from home.

Findings from Pecan’s future of work with clients highlights the challenges of

sustained remote working as

Loss of social connections/sense of belonging
Limited organisation-wide communication and anecdotal updates
