Fortune: 63% of high-growth companies have hybrid work models
Continuing the conversation on the future of work, Fortune and Sheryl Estrada build on the NewtonX Current 75-person CFO study.

Yesterday, I shared data from Fortune and NewtonXโs new CFO poll that found many financial leaders prefer working remotely with flexible onsite workdays post-COVID.
That echoes what Accenture finds in a new research report based on a global survey of more than 9,000 workers across industries. About 83% of respondents said a hybrid modelโsometimes remote, sometimes onsiteโwould be optimal. A quarter of respondents, in fields such as healthcare and retail, worked fully onsite throughout the coronavirus pandemic and are likely to remain onsite, despite their personal preferences, the report found.
Reimaging the onsite work experience is just as important as optimizing the work experience for hybrid or fully remote employees. But, at the end of the day, โitโs not about place, itโs about potential,โ the report found.
Regardless of physical location, enhancing resources to make sure a workforce is healthy and productive, โwill produce bottom-line benefits,โ according to Accenture. The report notes that 63% of high-revenue growth companies use hybrid, “productivity anywhere,” workforce models; and 69% of โnegative or no-growthโ companies shun the concept of hybrid workforces and favor all onsite or all remote workforces.
Accentureโs model of โNet Better Offโ suggests employers focus on โsix fundamental human needsโ for employees: financial security; emotional and mental wellbeing; a strong sense of belonging and inclusion; good physical health; purpose; and having the skill sets to advance in oneโs career.
Although respondents of our CFO poll preferred hybrid work environments, they also recognized the challenges when it comes to socializing, team building, and fostering company culture. Almost half of the respondents (44%) said theyโd like to organize in-person work periods by project or department.
Many Gen Z employees, who grew up during an era of selfies, texting, and virtual reality, actually want to experience onsite work in some form, Accenture’s report found. About 74% of Gen Z respondents prefer more opportunities to work face-to-face with colleagues, followed by Baby Boomers (68%), and Gen Xers (66%).
