HubSpot’s 2022 Hybrid Work Report Reveals Insights on How to Make the Future of Work Sustainable

External survey of 4,000+ full-time remote, in-office, and flex workers in eight markets reveals findings on collaboration, culture, communication, mental health, and management

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — HubSpot, the customer relationship management (CRM) platform for scaling companies, today released their 2022 Hybrid Work Report, exploring how the world worked in 2021. 

The past year has brought seismic shifts to how and where we work. In 2021, employees had the chance to experience the flexibility of working both remotely and in the office, leading many organizations to embrace and adopt hybrid work models. According to HubSpot, hybrid work is here to stay and 2022 is about making it future-proof.

HubSpot’s 2022 Hybrid Work Report reveals findings on collaboration, culture, communication, mental health, and management in a hybrid world. The report analyzed feedback from HubSpot’s hybrid workforce and surveyed over 4,000 full-time remote, in-office, and flex workers from companies in the U.S., UK, Ireland, Germany, Australia, France, Canada, and Japan. Below are key highlights from the survey, fielded in December 2021.

Highlights from HubSpot’s 2022 Hybrid Work Report:

  • 60% of parents and caregivers feel pressured to be “always on” during working hours, despite their current situation at home.
  • 57% of survey respondents said they are to some degree likely to look for a new job in 2022 due to burnout.
  • 49% of in-office workers found staying motivated and staying connected with their team to be the biggest challenges in the transition from remote to in-office work.
  • 38% of flex workers see differences in the in-office and remote employee experience as an obstacle to success.
  • 40% of remote workers miss spontaneous, in-person connections with their colleagues.

As the pandemic continues to evolve, so does the way we work. As Katie Burke, HubSpot’s Chief People Officer says, “One key learning over the past year is that caring and listening are table stakes. The companies who will be successful in 2022 and beyond will match that listening with action, setting bold strategies for the new future of work. For us at HubSpot, that’s focusing on making sure our commitment to flexibility scales with our company in a way that is fair, inclusive, and friction-free, no matter where you choose to work from.”

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
