Rigid hybrid-work setups linked to higher stress
What’s happening
Eurofound reports that about 24% of EU employees work hybrid. The 22% of hybrid workers with little say over when and where they work report higher stress and the lowest sense of fairness, and leaving rules to individual managers produces inconsistent attendance practices.
What to do
Review return-to-office rules for consistency and give teams some say over their schedules.
