Zoom has announced it is preparing for a hybrid approach in its return to the workplace.

The business is mixing remote and in-office work, enabled by the Zoom platform.

An internal poll by the teleconferencing company found that only 1 per cent of its workforce wanted to return to the office full-time.

More than half said they would prefer a hybrid approach, a quarter want to work from home permanently, and the rest mostly work remotely on a full-time basis already.

“There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to returning to the office, and we’re listening to our employees to understand their concerns and help guide our plans,” said Kelly Steckelberg, chief financial officer at Zoom. “Any decision we make at Zoom ladders into one goal: maintaining a mutual sense of trust between leadership and employees, as higher trust leads to a happier, more productive workforce. We’re carefully listening and learning, but ultimately, our office reopenings will be one component of a flexible, hybrid approach.”
