How associations are managing the hybrid workplace

January 10, 2022 Maddie Grant

This timely post from McKinsey was just published:

The uptick in remote and hybrid work is causing organizations to rethink how they use their office space. More than 50 percent of respondents to our recent survey noted they are optimizing their real-estate portfolios or have already done so. At the top of their list are flexible desk arrangements and early lease termination.

As it happens, we’re doing our own research too:

QUESTION WE ASKED OUR RESEARCH POOL (3,576 association execs):

Whether you’re already back in the office, or still planning your return, which version of hybrid sounds closest to your approach?

Most of the “other” responses were basically undecided, OR not returning to the office at all.

What about you? Are you working on your hybrid planning?  Contact us if we can help.
