Reinvent Your Work Environment

After so many folks worked from home in 2020, organizations found the need to adjust the way they collaborate, communicate, and work. Having an office that can evolve is crucial in this post-pandemic world. That’s why, the team at Intereum, believes a hybrid work model is the best way to stay flexible and be successful in 2021.

Now is the time to work your way. It has never been easier than it is right now to create your ideal work environment. Maybe you want to work from home, maybe you want a better space at the office, maybe you want a mix of both—whatever your work style is, it’s important that your employer is prepared to support you and your needs.

Why Now?

COVID-19 made many of us question the way we live our lives. Our jobs, relationships, and living situations were put under an entirely new lens. These tragic, strange, and uncertain times forced us to gain a deeper understanding of our priorities.

Time spent with family and friends, mental healthcare, and staying safe are even higher on the priority list than they were previously. With a hybrid work model, employees can exchange commute time for quality time with their loved ones, they can squeeze in a therapy appointment over lunch, and they can easily work from home if they’re feeling ill. So, if you’re wondering, why is now the best time to reinvent the way we work? Because it’s been a long time coming!

The Hybrid Work Model: What is it and how does it work?

Hybrid work has many variations. There are companies that allow all their employees to work on-site and remotely. Other organizations have some employees working entirely from home and others on-site full-time.

Organizations that trust their employees to successfully do their jobs at home or in the office have the opportunity to optimize their space, lower costs, build trust, and much more. The hybrid model benefits both the employees and the employers! So why not give it a shot?

Your How-to Guide on Reinventing the Way You Work

As the country began reopening this year, the Intereum team knew it was time for an update in our workplace strategy. So, we put our findings into action and implemented a fully hybrid work policy. If you’re ready to do the same and work your way, here’s how to get started:

Ask Yourself What You Want

This first step is simple yet crucial. You may feel that you’re not currently in your ideal work environment, but you’re also unsure of what would make it better. Before making any rash decisions about your job, take time to brainstorm what you really want.

Do you want to work from home 100% of the time? Do you want to work in a more enjoyable office space? Do you want a hybrid, half-office, half-home schedule? Ask yourself these questions and make note of your workplace priorities.

Communicate Your Needs

Once you’ve figured out what’s important to you, communicate it with the people who have the power to make a difference.

Do you need a standing desk? Are you hoping to integrate more safety procedures into your day at the office? Do you want additional technology that makes it easier to work from home? Set up a meeting with your boss or a higher-up and let them know how you’re feeling and what you need.

Create the Right Environment
