Collaboration tools have become crucial in enabling the coexistence of the digital and physical workplace, both internally with employees and externally with clients, as revealed in a report GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company. The report showed that even in 2023, companies have been posting hybrid work-related roles, particularly in sectors such as construction, insurance, banking and payments, technology and communications, and pharmaceuticals during the third quarter (Q3) of 2023.
According to Sherla Sriprada, Business Fundamentals Analyst at GlobalData, “Post-Covid-19 job trends indicate a shift towards hybrid and flexible work models. With more sectors looking at flexible work models, these may become a norm along with ‘in-office’ roles in the near future.” Sriprada emphasized that embracing the shift to hybrid work models is not just a trend, but a strategic imperative for companies navigating the evolving landscape. This trend signals a profound transformation in the way we work, ensuring adaptability and resilience in the post-Covid-19 era.
In addition, companies are taking proactive steps to adapt to a hybrid work environment, with collaboration tools playing a vital role in maintaining productivity, communication, and project management amidst the ongoing changes in the workplace. This shift is expected to have long-term implications for various industries, as they seek to strike a balance between remote and in-person work arrangements. As businesses strategize and plan for the future, the rise of hybrid work roles is likely to shape the workforce and organizational structures.
