A year ago, if you asked senior leaders if their company went fully remote tomorrow, whether they’d still be successful, many, including myself would have said it’s not possible. Fast forward, and the impossible has not only become possible, but we’ve proved that we can be effective, creative, and productive working from anywhere—even amid a global pandemic.We’ve adopted alternative working hours, onboarded new employees, welcomed unexpected Zoom cameos, and gotten to know our colleagues on a more human level. We know this new way of working works, and employees will expect this flexibility going forward. Research from the Future Forum shows that 93% of knowledge workers want a flexible schedule, and 76% want flexibility in location. And that flexibility will be critical in recruiting and retaining top talent.
