ReturnSafe, the pandemic-born, high-growth technology company helping large-scale organizations provide healthy workplaces for employees and minimize business disruption, announced today the expansion of its platform to include future of work solutions. ReturnSafe is rolling out its Hybrid Experience Platform, a first-of-its-kind tool and resource for managers, HR leaders, and employees alike to enable a future-ready workforce, including features to support hybrid work models, flexible schedules, employee engagement and healthier workplaces.
ReturnSafe’s investment to expand its solution comes as more businesses focus on finding effective and creative solutions to improve their employee retention, compete for top talent and optimize workforce engagement and performance. Leading in transforming the future of work is the hybrid work model, providing employees with in-office and remote work flexibility.
According to Gartner®, hybrid work is changing how employees experience company culture. Hybrid or remote workers spend 65% less time in offices than before the COVID-19 pandemic and are meeting with their teams in-person two days a week less. By developing a seamless and personalized approach using ReturnSafe’s proprietary Hybrid Work Playbook, HR leaders and business managers can clearly define and measure their hybrid work experience and provide a sense of connectivity while maintaining flexibility for their employees.
The Hybrid Experience Platform will include:
- Flexible work options: Define and easily communicate with individualized teams the hybrid options that work within organization policies and programs.
- Socialize office visits: Coordinate and share on-site work plans with colleagues to optimize time in the office for in-person collaboration and socialization.
- Coaching and mentoring: Identify and connect potential mentors and mentees.
- Workplace well-being: Provide employees the information they need to make informed decisions on safety protocol in the workplace.
- Minimize business disruptions: Respond quickly to possible viral outbreaks and minimize business impact with the HR command center.
- Crisis communications: Send alerts to impacted employees based upon location and status.
- Hybrid work analytics and goals: Get real-time insights and data on the success of hybrid work programs and make adjustments quickly as things evolve to create a vibrant, high-performing and healthy workplace.
