Leadership and employees alike are facing difficulties in returning to a sense of normalcy at work in the post-Covid world. While knowledge workers embrace the growing ease of working with digital platforms, the gap between the ease of working virtually and in offices widens. Those working on digital platforms are having an easier time than those who don’t. Sarma, Hoffmire, and Krishnamurthy have a formula for how to overcome this gap.
We are hurtling towards having our work performed on metaverses. Once metaverses are well-established, many will prefer working through them. Because so many will prefer metatverses, expectations of smooth experiences while working in the office will rise. If smooth workplace experiences traversing the metaverse and the physical office are not delivered, the hybrid model of work may crumble. Since neither leadership, nor employees, want the hybrid model to go away, something has to be done to improve the worklife of office workers.
People always gravitate towards the easy way of doing things, if a choice exists. The way to deliver a smooth workplace experience journey is to focus on making work easy. Sarma, Hoffmire and Krishnamurthy give a 5-step methodology and suggest particular action items that will change any workplace for the better. In a world that faces a scarcity of talent, the ideas that appear between these covers give the reader many methods that will improve their organizations’ use of space, HR policies, strategies, and practices.
