MAY, 20226 The CEO of Microsoft emphasizes that hybrid work is the biggest shift in how we work in our generation. The hybrid workplace culture witnessed over the past two years has created a touchstone in terms of working styles. In response, a huge number of employees are seeking flexible remote work options. The Work Trend Index Report published by Microsoft explains how and why more employees are considering changing jobs than in prior years. Also shown is the degree to which workers of each generation are open to the idea of working in the metaverse.Based on this mindset, Microsoft has developed a Hybrid Workplace Dial that's anchored to six defined stages rather than specific timelines and allows employees to adjust their working environment quickly based on their health conditions while also staying data-driven in decision-making. In the future, the hybrid work calls for a new operating model and strategy based on a flexible work policy, inclusive space design, and innovative technology. The modern workplace requires companies to meet new employee expectations, connect more remote employees, and provide tools to allow them to work together to solve problems.Our editorial board in this edition of APAC CIOOutlook has analyzed the most popular trends of the year to assist industry leaders in manoeuvring in the right direction when adopting Microsoft solutions and services for their clients.
