As I was scrolling through my news outlets this morning, I saw a statistic that has me in deep thought - "4.8 million fewer U.S. employees are engaged in early 2024", that's the lowest engagement level reported since 2013. As someone in this field, I wonder what is causing this...my mind automatically goes to the impact of remote work, but I am sure there are several other factors. Take a look at this article and let me know your thoughts below. U.S. Engagement Hits 11-Year Low (gallup.com)

Flexibility: Co-working spaces offer flexible membership plans and workspaces that cater to different needs, from hot desks to private offices, allowing professionals to choose what suits them best. Networking Opportunities: Being in a co-working space means being surrounded by like-minded professionals from diverse industries. This creates ample opportunities for networking, collaboration, and potential partnerships. Enhanced Productivity: A well-designed co-working space provides an environment that fosters productivity and creativity, free from the distractions often found at home or in traditional offices. Cost-Effective: Co-working spaces provide all the necessary amenities (like high-speed internet, meeting rooms, and office supplies) without the overhead costs associated with leasing a traditional office. Community and Support: Co-working spaces often host events, workshops, and social gatherings, building a strong community where members can learn, share knowledge, and support each other’s growth. Work-Life Balance: Co-working spaces are designed to promote a healthy work-life balance, with amenities such as fitness centers, lounges, and even nap rooms. Scalability: As businesses grow, co-working spaces offer the flexibility to scale up or down without the hassle of long-term leases and moving costs. Innovation Hub: Co-working spaces are often hubs of innovation, where new ideas and startups are born. The dynamic environment encourages out-of-the-box thinking and creativity. Professional Image: Having a professional, well-designed workspace can enhance the image of freelancers and small businesses, providing a prestigious address and meeting space for clients. Sustainability: Co-working spaces are generally more environmentally friendly than traditional offices, optimizing space and resources, and often incorporating sustainable practices and materials.

At my previous company, I worked remotely due to the pandemic and a 1.5-hour commute, making office visits rare. Today, I mark my one-year anniversary at UKG, comparing remote work with hybrid work.🏡🏢 I enjoyed being a remote worker, yet I recognized the difference compared to those who were able to come into the office. At UKG I have been introduced to the benefits of regular office days. Our team works from the office at least once a week, which had a really positive effect on my onboarding experience. 🤝Getting to know each other, sharing laughs during coffee breaks, discussing specific topics, and being able to ask questions without the need to schedule a call, has made work much more enjoyable. 🙏 Dr. Kilian W. Wawoe offered his perspective on this subject at an HR event I attended last year and compared it to a group of elephants, as seen in the picture. For seasoned leaders, remote work can be beneficial because of more focus and fewer distractions. However, for the new joiners (like the smallest elephant trailing behind), the opportunity to be among more experienced colleagues is invaluable.🐘🐘🐘🐘 If you're interested you can watch his talk here: https://lnkd.in/dk8Kfyda #UKG #WorkplaceCulture #HybridWork #Leadership #Anniversary #remotework

#Flexiblework is no longer a perk; it’s a strategic imperative for businesses seeking to attract and retain top talent. Here's how you can start designing for flexibility: https://lnkd.in/denvMVVW #remotework #compressedworkweeks #jobshare #poweredbypeople

Have you considered the impact of the right to disconnect on business productivity? Despite the upcoming legislation in Australia, only 20% of employers have implemented this practice. Interestingly, 65% of business leaders believe that the right to disconnect could enhance productivity. This gap between belief and implementation underscores the challenges businesses face in adapting to new workforce practices. Moreover, while concepts like the four-day work week and work-from-anywhere are gaining traction, adoption rates remain low. This disparity suggests a growing conversation around flexible work policies but reveals a lag in execution. In response, business leaders are focusing on strategies such as training, upskilling, and employee reward schemes to drive productivity. As we transition towards a more flexible work environment, staying informed and adaptable will be key.
