Dear Jeanette,
Hybrid events may have fallen out of favour since the pandemic, but the appeal of hybrid working – to employees at least – has been more enduring.
Office attendance is still 30 per cent lower than it was before the pandemic, with workers going into the office for an average of 3.5 days per week, according to a McKinsey report published last year.
But what effect has this shift in working patterns had on the meetings and events industry, in terms of individual workers and the industry at large? Has an increase in remote working made us more, or less, productive? Has it led to clients organising more or fewer meetings and events? Has it made hiring staff easier or more difficult?
