How we work has rapidly evolved since the start of the pandemic three years ago, and employers and employees are still experimenting with their best practices. 

Whether it’s through hybrid work schedules — and the benefits and perks that make that arrangement functional — to employees juggling multiple roles at a time, there’s no such thing as one way to work. At EY, they’re keeping hybrid work optional as a way to empower workers to engage with each other in person, and avoid the damage done when employees lose their agency around work.  

EY has been experimenting with the right mix of benefits and culture to make hybrid work appealing for their employees. The company provided employees with an $800 stipend to cover lifestyle shifts like commuting costs or caregiving needs, and has continued to make hybrid work optional, so employees feel more engaged when they arrive at the office. 

“When we’re doing heads-down, focused work, that’s great stuff to do at home,” Giampietro says. “But when we’re trying to build connections, we’re trying to build mentorship, we’re trying to learn from each other, those are great things to do in person.”
