Twelve Days of CADD Care (Day Three): A hybrid work plan

On the third day of CADD Care, the CADD team gave to me… an easy way to plan for a hybrid work environment!

Did you know that there is a “simple” approach to moving to a hybrid work environment?

It has been an interesting two years for the corporate real estate industry. A gift for the holidays is to ease the headache of strategizing for a hybrid workplace. If you follow these steps below, you will be on your way to more efficient office space, a satisfied workforce, and the happiest of holidays!

1. Define “Hybrid” for Employees
   • Understand which job functionalities need to remain onsite full-time
   • Determine how many days a week an employee will be in the office to be considered full-time vs. hybrid
   • Collaborate with Human Resources, Finance, Information Technology, and Security departments to help shape this definition for your organization!
2. Define “Hybrid” for Real Estate
   • Review your current portfolio and determine which offices need to remain under your lease or ownership.
   • Once determined which space will remain, can that space become a hybrid environment?
   • What accommodations are necessary to become an actual hybrid environment?
     • Unassigned seating
     • IT equipment
     • Software applications

3. Change Management is critical!
   • Stakeholders openly collaborating on workplace issues
   • The open flow of communication and information
   • Transparency on workplace-related decisions and changes
