Sustainability in the new remote and hybrid worlds of work
Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This research paper concentrates on understanding the relationship between sustainability performance, new approaches to work (NAW), workspace usage patterns, and physical workspace reduction practices by companies and their employees. It was found from the surveys of executives and managers at Indian IT companies that NAW does lower the use of workspaces, thereby boosting a company's sustainability performance. This finding is a confident signal to executives and managers that remote working is very much here to stay, meaning they can build a full people infrastructure around this paradigm shift that's already implanted itself in the worldwide employment psyche. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
