Introduction

Hybrid work, a blend of in-office and remote work, has become the norm for many organizations as they navigate the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While hybrid work has its benefits, it also presents unique challenges for companies looking to maintain strong company culture and employee engagement. Litespace is a SaaS platform that aims to solve these challenges by providing a comprehensive suite of tools for managing hybrid teams.

The Challenges of Hybrid Work

The problems associated with hybrid and remote have been studied under the microscope by many researchers and consultants: 

  • According to a survey by Slack, 75% of employees reported feeling less connected to their coworkers while working remotely. In addition, 59% of employees reported feeling more isolated and disconnected from their direct teammates.
  • Turnover rate is another crucial KPI that has spiked during the COVID pandemic, and it illustrates the trend commonly referred to as “The Great Resignation”. Companies are experiencing a sharp increase in staff turnover, especially in new hires and top talent.
  • Another issue is the difficulty in managing and optimizing office space. With employees working from different locations, it can be challenging to track space utilization and identify opportunities for cost savings. This can lead to wasted resources and higher expenses.

"Our team has never been more connected or motivated," she said. "Litespace has truly transformed the way we work and has helped us create a positive, inclusive culture that supports our employees. Our office monthly office attendance increased by 30% as others felt the same benefit of getting facetime with key executives and leadership.”
