“The majority of our employees prefer a hybrid schedule because of the personal flexibility it affords them, and that is not going to change anytime soon. Covid has changed the landscape.”
Hirt-Marchand conducts regular research with Marcus Thomas employees --- surveys or one-on-one interviews – gaging what is most important to their associates. The company listens and makes changes based on their expressed wants and needs – “and sometimes that requires pivoting.”
NRP Group is the second place finisher in the mid-size company category in The Plain Dealer’s 2022 Top Workplaces. David Heller is President and CEO of NRP.His corporate offices in downtown Cleveland were closed for the better part of nine months with the full staff working remotely. Both Marcus Thomas and NRP are offering catered lunches and social activities to allow employees to reconnect in person -- even welcoming canine “co-workers” back as officemates., the option to work from home, hybrid or fully in-person is available to them as well, but CEO Bill Cosgrove believes employees who return to the office – whether full or part-time – will advance faster up the corporate ladder.
Hirt-Marchand agrees with Cosgrove that staying at home can impact an employee’s growth, especially younger employees who are missing out on opportunities to be mentored. In addition to finding ways to encourage in-person collaborations, leaders of hybrid workforces are also tasked with finding ways to help the stay-at-home associates to step away and maintain a work/life balance.
To that end, Heller’s company is hosting out of the office/home activities to allow co-workers to connect in person while having some fun. He also hosts a podcast – a la “Larry King Live!” -- bi-weekly discussing topics employees are interested in exploring or just learning more about.
