With the recent announcement that all Covid 19 restrictions are soon to be lifted, no one can deny the world of work is about to change.
Again. Just as many of us have gotten used to the working from home lifestyle, the option of returning to the office is once more on the table.
But is everyone going to jump at the chance to go go back into the office? Opinion is split at Huggg. Some love the convenience of WFH, some miss being able to meet in person, others like a mixture of both. This situation is likely echoed at every affected workplace in the country, if not the world. One thing we can all agree on though is when working from home, the perks and treats we benefit from when we are in the office - coffee, snacks, lunches, after work drinks etc, are sorely missed. And for those that might not ever be going back in at all, this is a hefty blow indeed!
Although these factors may seem small, when combined they add up to a much greater whole and feed directly into your company culture. With 88% of jobseekers stating that company culture is a deciding factor when considering a new position, and with 78% of people preferring to WFH for at least three days a week, it’s probably a good idea to make sure your remote workers aren’t overlooked.
So how can you replace those perks and keep your working from home and hybrid people happy?
We’re glad you asked.
