The Hybrid Guide to Higher Education
Hybrid work is here to stay, and your institution has already demonstrated its resilience and flexibility by helping people remain productive no matter where they work. The challenge going forward is reimagining your institution to best take advantage of the progress you’ve already made.
Not all roles translate well to remote work, it’s true. But many of them—particularly in IT, administration, finance, procurement, as well as some faculty positions—turned out to be well suited to a work-from-anywhere lifestyle. However, those workers need an upgraded tech stack so they can work efficiently off-site.
Students, too, want flexibility and control over their education. To boost enrollment and retention, institutions must keep their offerings competitive with other postsecondary education options. As a result, colleges and universities are increasing the number of courses they offer, based on an in-person, remote, or blended instructional model.
