At Eligo Recruitment, our mission is to provide Growth Through Talent, connecting exceptional professionals with thriving businesses across the UK, Europe, and the US. The ongoing debate between onsite and hybrid work models presents unique challenges and opportunities for businesses looking to hire and build successful teams. In this blog, we'll delve into the specifics of building a high-performing onsite team and how Eligo Recruitment can be your partner in this journey.
The Onsite vs Hybrid Landscape
The workplace has undergone a seismic shift in recent years, with hybrid work becoming increasingly popular. The appeal of hybrid work is evident across various countries. In a survey spanning 18 nations, 66% of respondents expressed a desire for some degree of hybrid working, ranging from mostly office-based to predominantly remote arrangements. This preference for flexibility is so strong that 54% of employees say they would leave their current job for one that offers more flexibility, particularly in remote work options.
While remote and hybrid models offer flexibility, there are compelling reasons to prioritize an onsite workforce. Let’s explore the key factors influencing this decision.
Understanding the Hybrid Model
While offering flexibility, hybrid work can present challenges in maintaining team cohesion and communication. When it comes to building a high-performing team, a robust digital infrastructure is crucial for successful hybrid working. Interestingly, the hybrid model seems to be delivering results for many organisations.
83% of companies report that collaboration on new projects has been as good as or better than pre-pandemic full-time office work. This positive outcome is likely contributing to the staying power of hybrid work, with 75% of hybrid employees believing that this model is not just a temporary trend.
Benefits of Onsite Work
Despite the benefits of hybrid, we are supporting a number of clients who are operating a fully onsite model. Due to the following benefits it brings to business:
- Enhanced Collaboration: Face-to-face interactions foster stronger team bonds and creativity.
- Accelerated Onboarding: New hires can quickly integrate into company culture and processes.
- Stronger Company Culture: Shared physical workspace contributes to a cohesive and engaged workforce.
- Improved Performance Oversight: Direct supervision can enhance productivity and accountability.
Challenges of Onsite Hiring
Our clients are also aware that building an high-performing onsite team tailored to their business can be challenging due to several factors:
- Limited Talent Pool: Restricting your search to local candidates can significantly reduce the available talent pool.
- Increased Competition: Competition for top local talent is fierce, requiring strategic recruitment approaches.
- Retention Challenges: Maintaining employee satisfaction in an onsite-only environment can be demanding.
