This morning in London, I sat down with Satya Nadella and Ryan Roslansky, LinkedIn’s CEO, to discuss how leaders can empower employees — and drive business impact — in the face of economic uncertainty. No matter how your people work, from remote to in-person to somewhere in between, understanding your workforce is more important than ever.

The world has changed, and anyone who thinks we’re going back to the way we worked in 2019 is sorely mistaken. It’s become clear to us that work is no longer a place, but an experience that binds employees and leaders across home offices, company headquarters, time zones and more. Employees around the world have embraced flexibility and hybrid work schedules, reveling in the freedom to work where, when and how they want. At the same time, many leaders still crave the familiarity of the traditional office where brainstorming happened in person and chance encounters in the hallways led to unexpected collaboration. In short, there’s a disconnect between employers and employees. And in an unpredictable economy, that disconnect is only growing wider.

The solution? A new approach to employee engagement, one that embraces the digitally connected, distributed workforce, realigns employees to business priorities and re-onboards them to the company culture and mission. In our latest Work Trend Index Pulse Report, out today, we offer three urgent pivots leaders must make to bridge the divide — and help employees not only do their best, but be their best.
