The health crisis has had a strong impact on working methods. The needs of employees have evolved, the methods of collaboration have changed and the daily organization has been redesigned.
For companies, these changes represent a real challenge. However, it is also an opportunity to emphasize an essential characteristic for the proper development of an organization: agility.
Contextual targeting reconciles consumers with advertising
In its annual report on the anatomy of work, Asana, a work management platform, analyzed the behavior of 10,000 knowledge workers worldwide, including 1,501 in France. The objective is to identify and understand the changes caused by the pandemic, and to determine the methods that work or not in companies.
Adapt the work environment to the activity and the needs of each
The last two years have forced companies to completely rethink the way they work. They had to familiarize themselves with telework, then hybrid work. Despite everything, the Asana white paper reveals that French employees prefer to go to the office for collaborative tasks, welcoming new employees or training and professional development. 55% of them see the office as a place of discussion. Nevertheless, 46% claim to have a greater ability to concentrate at home. 58% of employees prefer to take a hybrid approach.
For companies, the challenge is to succeed in offering the right environment according to the desires and activities of their employees. To do this, they must give themselves the means to gain in agility and adaptability, in particular by adopting an optimized and perfectly coordinated approach, with clearly framed tasks, actions and environments. The schedules must also be harmonized to ensure good organization. By obtaining this reportyou will discover avenues for improvement to explore and two hybrid work models that it may be wise to put in place.
Rethinking work organization
In parallel with the adoption of these new approaches, the time devoted to strategy is considerably reduced, by more than half from one year to the next for the latter.
The same applies to organizational tasks. Nevertheless, the latter still remain a challenge for large companies and employees with a high level of seniority. In France, medium (60%) and large (58%) companies, as well as managers (60%), generally spend more time managing these tasks.
The objective is therefore twofold: to succeed in putting strategy back at the heart of team work and to increase productivity in the office and remotely. The white paper explains that 227 hours could be saved through better processes (compared to 257 globally). By downloading this report, you will get advice from Professor Nicholas Bloom, who has been interested in remote working for nearly two decades, to transform your work environment.
Reconciling well-being and work
The health crisis has highlighted the working conditions of employees and the importance of their mental health. Asana’s report reveals that 40% of employees experience both burnout and impostor syndrome. Excessive workload and meetings that drag on into the evening directly contribute to occupational hazards.
With two-thirds of employees victims of burnout or impostor syndrome, it is imperative to find concrete solutions. These should help improve overall processes and meet employee needs. Otherwise, they could desert their business. In this white paper, Dr. Sahar Yousef, Researcher in cognitive neuroscience and lecturer at the Hass School of Business at the University of Berkeley in California, introduces the organization of breaks with the 3M system. By downloading this white paper, you will discover in detail this method and advice on how to set it up.
To transform their organization into an agile structure capable of supporting all current and future changes, leaders must prepare now. To know the platforms and methods to adopt in this mutation, don’t forget to get the report from Asana.
