Re-evaluation of the workplace: Age of hybrid working

With HR technology advancing leaps and bounds as a result of the pandemic, it has become easier for companies to maintain a database of employee mindsets and behaviors. What is significant is how one uses the data to fine-tune the role of HR in making remote and hybrid work easier for both the company and employee. 

Asynchronous work might be a new aspect for companies to explore – especially those that rely heavily on daily meetings to ensure uniform productivity. With automation taking the driver’s seat over the last two years, it is imperative to help company culture accommodate the future of work.
