A recent study reveals that effective leadership communication can counteract the negative effects of flexible work arrangements on employee engagement and well-being. While flexible working offers benefits like better work-life balance and reduced commute time, many employees feel less engaged and valued when working remotely. The study highlights the necessity for managers to communicate clearly, support employees' needs, set expectations, and provide regular updates. Proper training for managers is essential to ensure effective communication in remote and hybrid work scenarios, ultimately improving employee experience and productivity.
"Flexible work arrangements may provide benefits to employees, such as cutting commute times, increasing ability to manage work-life balance, and reducing stress, but simply offering flexible work isn't enough."
"Managers play a crucial role in making flexible work successful, and organizations should train managers on how to effectively communicate with their remote and hybrid workers."
