Infiltrating the corporate environment, New Ways of Working (NWoW) is transforming workplaces globally. Hybrid working is dominating the scene, offering a split-time approach between the office and home. However, as more and more people are working outside of traditional office settings, agile working is becoming more popular among professionals who crave flexibility.
Agile working encompasses four main aspects of work – time (when do people work), location (where do people work), role (what do people do) and source (who carries out work).
Many businesses see agile working as a tool to increase employee productivity and work satisfaction through mutual trust and flexible working practices. Agile working can help companies and employees work more effectively by tailoring work to individual needs.
Recent changes in the working environment and its undeniable benefits are accelerating the adoption of agile working. Key benefits of agile working include:
Agile working allows people to work when they feel they’re at their best. It is also linked to an increase of overall employee wellbeing and productivity.
Happier employees are more likely to stay at the company and be engaged with their work. This also foster a positive company culture reflected by up to a 20% increase in productivity.
Not only it allows current employees to have a better work-life balance but a flexible working environment attracts a wider pool of professionals and retains talent.
Giving your employees a choice to work from any location at any time means that they don’t need to commute long hours, reducing their carbon footprint.
Research suggests that agile working makes us more creative by giving those who are out of the office more thinking space for coming up with new ideas.
