66% of Canadians in a recent KPMG survey say they're satisfied with their current virtual work from home environment but 63% want to return to their physical workplace or office space due to challenges such as virtual fatigue, mental health and social withdrawal. The reality is, for many organizations, remote work is here to stay.

In fact, these competing preferences have given rise to a new and evolving hybrid workplace, and 71 percent of surveyed Canadians believe hybrid work should be the new standard.

While a hybrid work model in this era of new normal lends itself to a more flexible, engaging and talent-friendly operation, there are significant legal, compliance, and employee engagement considerations that organizations will need to navigate for it to be successful. Our Hybrid Workplace guide provides the insights and resources you need to effectively empower your hybrid workforce and prepare your organization for the future of work.
