00:00Since the COVID pandemic, we're seeing more employers than ever adopt some form of remote

00:04work arrangement with their employees. Now, a Gallup survey has found that this sort of

00:08situation could be a boon for both employees and employers, but only if it's handled appropriately.

00:13Now that remote work is becoming the norm, employees expect to stay remote moving forward,

00:18with 80% of those asked saying they want either full remote or a hybrid arrangement forever.

00:23And while some 40% responded that they prefer being in the office a couple of days a week,

00:2760% did not. And that means if hybrid arrangements aren't executed in just the right way,

00:32they could inhibit the employee cohesion and increase productivity they were meant to foster

00:36in the first place. The survey found that if employers aren't good at communicating why they

00:40need a hybrid over a full remote situation, not only will a workforce's team structure dissolve,

00:45the poll, which also included responses from 135 Fortune 500 HR teams, found that productivity

00:52declines. Or an affront to the very reason many bosses say they want butts in seats at the office

00:56to begin with. Meanwhile, the poll found that remote work is pretty much a boon for employees

01:01across the board, with more than half of respondents indicating more productivity,

01:05less burnout, better work-life balance, and are less likely to be looking for a job elsewhere.

01:10The survey also found that those with flexible schedules reported the most satisfaction with

01:15their hybrid work arrangements.
