Just last month, we released our 2022 Annual Work Trend Index<\/a> to better understand how work has changed over the past two years. The biggest takeaway is clear: we\u2019re not the same people that went home to work in early 2020. The collective experience of the past two years has left a lasting imprint, and there\u2019s no going back. The data shows that flexibility and well-being are non-negotiable for employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As organizations and leaders navigate this new world of work in an uncertain macro-economic environment, Microsoft Research<\/a>\u2014our team of researchers, scientists, and subject matter experts around the world\u2014continues to study how work is changing and ask big questions: why is rebuilding social capital important? What aspects of work benefit most from in-person interaction? Why will (and won\u2019t) people come to the office? And importantly, how do we make hybrid work work<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
