Most employers haven’t adapted their practices to support the shift to flexible work, with 3 out of 4 workers saying their employer hasn’t provided training to handle it, according to a March 19 report by TechSmith Corp., Global Workplace Analytics and Caryatid Workplace Consultancy.

As a result, leaders and managers need hybrid-related skills such as establishing team or meeting norms and leading a distributed workforce.
