The productivity of the current workforce is being affected by various stressors. Many employees are struggling to adapt to remote work or a hybrid work environment, according to Millette Granville, the VP of diversity, equity, and inclusion at 2U.
Granville highlighted that some employees feel uneasy when they are working remotely while their team members are working in person. This adjustment challenge was discussed during a panel at From Day One’s conference in Washington, D.C., moderated by Krissah Thompson, the managing editor of the Washington Post.
As organizations continue to navigate the challenges brought on by the pandemic, it is essential for them to address the needs of their workforce and provide support for those struggling with the changes in the work environment. By acknowledging and addressing these stressors, companies can help boost productivity and overall well-being among their employees.
The importance of effective communication, flexibility, and support systems cannot be understated as businesses strive to create a positive and productive work environment for all employees, whether they are working remotely, in-person, or in a hybrid setting.
