Being inflexible on enabling a remote OR hybrid work environment SIGNIFICANTLY reduces your available market of qualified job seekers. A recent Accenture study data revealed that 83% of 9,326 workers surveyed say they prefer a hybrid model — in which they can work remotely at least 25% of the time.

Concerned about productivity? This [Great Place to Work study](https://www.greatplacetowork.com/resources/blog/remote-work-productivity-study-finds-surprising-reality-2-year-study) measured employee productivity from March to August of 2020 and compared it to the same six-month period in 2019. Results showed **productivity had improved while working from home** (see graph).

 But how do you make it work FOR you? Here are 4 easy tips:

1. **Align on what is important to the role: **Quality, time to fill, or cost? Generally speaking, you’ll get to choose from 2 of them.Choose carefully!

**2. Create smart KPIs: **Providing clear, actionable, measurable goals to your new hire will not only help get them off to a productive start, but it will also enable you to measure their performance, or contribution to the company rather than focusing on the hours or location of work.

3. **Don’t over architect job requirements**: Be flexible: differentiate between the “must haves” vs. the “nice to haves” and consider what professional development looks like in your prospective candidates as a result. Candidates with “all” the required skills & experience may become bored quickly vs. an eager candidate with sufficient skills and space for professional development.

4. **Dare to trust**: Allow the metrics to prove productivity. Human nature can lead us to assume that when we can’t “see” a person working, they must not be. Statistics prove otherwise.
