New Workplace Trends
The modern workplace is constantly evolving as the world changes and employees have different demands and expectations. These changes create new workplace trends. As an employer or office manager, it is important to stay attuned to workplace trends and adapt your workplace as much as possible to maintain strong employee retention.
Today, we’ll discuss some of the top workplace trends and ways that you can support those changes in your office.
New Workplace Trends
Working from Home
COVID-19 has made having the flexibility to work from home not only normal, but expected. Whether you offer the capability to work from home full-time, or a hybrid model, employees value the chance to work from the comfort of their own home. Business News Daily has even shared research that “remote employees work 1.4 more days per month than their office-based counterparts.”
If you have employees working from home, be sure to set your employees up with a secure connection, a comfortable desk setup, and the best type of home office printer, scanner, & copier to ensure their success.
Unlimited PTO
Employees want to feel that their employers trust them to work hard and to meet their goals and objectives on time. That is why many companies now offer unlimited paid time off. With unlimited PTO, employees can take off the time that they feel is appropriate, with the understanding that they will meet the goals of their role and help grow the business. Though there are some instances where employees take unfair advantage of unlimited PTO, or, on the other hand, feel afraid to use it, it is generally a properly used and valued perk.
Outsourcing Some IT Services
Many companies now outsource certain IT services in order to free up the time of their internal IT teams, allowing them to focus on more important company objectives.
When it comes to areas like network evaluations, antivirus/malware protection and removal, and server/email hosting and migration, companies are now finding that it saves valuable internal time to outsource these services.

4 Day Workweek
Everybody loves a long weekend! 4 day work weeks are a new trend that allow employees to work extra hours on Monday through Thursday and take a three day weekend each week. Similar to unlimited PTO, employees are trusted to put in the extra hours and meet their objectives to partake in this workstyle. Though 4 day workweeks are still gaining popularity, they are a new workplace trend that is likely to continue growing.
