LISTEN | Sharry + LinkedIn on workplace experience trends
LinkedIn’s head of global design for real estate, Victor Sanchez, and Sharry country manager for US and Canada, Kevin Wilhelm, unpick the latest trends in workplace experience.
Takeaways
- 20-30% people coming back to the office; but airports and sports arenas back to 100%. Offices have more work to do
- Hallway conversations before and after the meeting are important. People calling in remotely on video don’t get that level of information – there is an opportunity for tech to fix that problem
- LinkedIn is seeing that people want to be with their teams but they are not collaborating for eight hours
- Onboarding remotely means pieces of the process and culture have been lost compared to people joining a company in the office. We are going to see remote work affect performance. Community is going to be something employers look closely at and push forward on
- Sharry’s top tip for selecting tech partners: buy solutions that are cloud-based, not stored on premises in server racks. This will allow them to be more scalable, updated faster and produce better data analytics than on-premises versions
- LinkedIn found that the reasons why people want to come to the office are amenities, collaboration, and community
