Gartner: Lack Of Hybrid Work Norms May Cause Workers To Leave
HRDIVE, April 21st, 2023
The lack of established norms in a hybrid work setting may make it 12% more likely that workers will leave, according to research published April 17 by consulting firm Gartner.
Gartner outlined three areas of norms found in successful hybrid work models, including norms that support visibility, flexibility and connection. For example, a Gartner survey found that the practice of sharing work preferences with team members can lead to higher engagement, inclusion and performance compared to teams that do not.
When it comes to connectivity in a hybrid space, employers can improve outcomes by facilitating periodic in-person meetings and on-site work with managers rather than instituting more rigid in-person mandates, Gartner said. The company said its research found that the best hybrid work models offer employees three or more days of remote work per week.
