With the recent influence of the global health crisis, increasing shifts in personal priorities are changing employees\u2019 expectations of work culture. Tanay Kediyal, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Allstate Solutions Private Limited (ASPL) shares his views on how these shifts will shape the hybrid working future.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content_7\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-3550353183\"><!-- Composite Start --> \r\n <div id=\"M923760ScriptRootC1549812\"> \r\n <\/div> \r\n <script src=\"https:\/\/jsc.mgid.com\/t\/r\/tradebrains.in.1549812.js\" async> \r\n <\/script> \r\n <!-- Composite End --><\/div>\n<p>   1)  Over the last few years, how has the work environment been redefined?   The workspace as we knew it, has changed forever and with it, the experiences of the workforce. As someone who has been in the industry for several decades, I\u2019ve had a front-row seat to this transition from the physical to the virtual. Today, I see that every home has a workstation similar to what one would expect in the office. Earlier, organizations needed to invest in well-designed physical facilities fitted out with active spaces, vibrant conference rooms, and bright colors to keep employees engaged. Now, when we think about how to create virtual engagement, we need to think about the basics &#8211; how to provide each of these \u2018offices\u2019 the bare minimum infrastructure. Today, the physical and virtual coexist to create a hybrid working environment that looks like it\u2019s here to stay. In-person meetings and working from the office for most companies will now have a whole new meaning with a greater sense of health and safety, togetherness and collaboration.<\/p>\n<p> 2)  How have employee expectations changed and what is driving the change?  Today\u2019s workforce expectations extend well beyond financial wellbeing. In my experience, this change in expectations is stemming from the \u2018big uncertainty\u2019 of our times that has given people the opportunity to introspect on what\u2019s really important. One common question has been \u201cIs my manager, my company showing a lot more compassion and active support, not just to me but also to my family?\u201d I think it quite aptly describes the change in expectations but I would rather believe it\u2019s rooted in how people want to recalibrate their priorities. It\u2019s intriguing, what is really compelling people to leave the comforts of a city and return to their hometowns \u2013 a trend we\u2019ve been seeing in many cities. I\u2019m not surprized, therefore, to hear of a chef in an established restaurant in the heart of Mumbai choosing to move back to his hometown where he can enjoy a simpler lifestyle with family. People are reflecting whether their personal goals are aligned with their professional purpose. As they journey through this phase, they are expecting a lot more help from their employers.<\/p>\n<p> At the same time, there\u2019s a greater expectation of working conditions becoming simpler, safer, cleaner, and generally more accommodative driven by sensitivity to the individual\u2019s situation. There\u2019s also a large influence with the expectations of Gen-Zers who have entered the workforce, who have a keen eye on holistic wellbeing, connection with the right causes, and sense of purpose.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content_5\" id=\"trade-296016413\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- in_content_2_news -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7925020301\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>   3) Companies have responded by empowering employees with tools to transition to a digital world. But in the hybrid world, how do we create a cohesive digital employee experience?  During these testing times, companies and individuals both have been challenged in their ability to bounce back and continue business as usual. And this has largely been possible because technology and collaborative tools have made giant leaps in their applicability. We rely more heavily than ever on tools and technology to connect, collaborate and even, stay operational.<\/p>\n<p> From the time we used inland letters to now, where emojis and bit-sized communications are the norm, the fundamentals are still the same. The channels we use have changed but the basic needs of trust building, one-to-one connections, and engagement are more relevant than ever. As leaders, we need to ask: \u201cHow do we bring in the binders that will tie all the experiences together for the employee seamlessly?\u201d  A lot more needs to happen andas we look to build a uniform work culture we must continue to leverageour \u2018social capital\u2019.<\/p>\n<p> While we have empowered employees with a host of tools, making the virtual experience as close to reality as possible, we also need to flex newer muscles that we didn\u2019t know existed. Allstate India usingvirtual apps to creatively onboard new hires is a good example.<\/p>\n<p> 4) Clearly, digital transition demands a major mindset shift. How do managers and leaders navigate through this and ensure all sections of the workforce are included, engaged, and thriving?  By leading with empathy \u2013 it is non-negotiable. While the digital platformscan ensure unifying experience, technology alone, will not suffice. Greater compassion from managers towards employees will help close the gap. I already see the levels of empathy going up in most people, since the pandemic hit.There\u2019s greater appreciation of the challenges that people might be facing.<\/p>\n<p> Allstate India has been at the front helping people during the crisis to an extent where we have received numerous industry awards. I see this time of uncertainty as an opportunity to introspect.<\/p>\n<p> While technology empowers us to challenge the impossible, layering it with greater sensitivity in our people-to-people interactions, will help build a sustainable working environment.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content-10\" id=\"trade-1136083310\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- in_content_3_news -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2969612066\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>   PWR PWR<\/p>\n<div class=\"trade-after-content\" id=\"trade-3974282493\"><div id=\"taboola-below-article-thumbnails\"><\/div>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\r\n  _taboola.push({\r\n    mode: 'alternating-thumbnails-a',\r\n    container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnails',\r\n    placement: 'Below Article Thumbnails',\r\n    target_type: 'mix'\r\n  });\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\r\n  _taboola.push({flush: true});\r\n<\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even as every industry is in the midst of \u2018transformation\u2019 led by digitalization, a global wave of lifestyle changes is redefining the employee value proposition that companies so carefully nurtured over the years.
