This may shock you: Hybrid workers -- among all types of employees -- are doing the best when it comes to feeling connected to their organization's culture, according to a recent Gallup analysis. Twenty-three percent of U.S. hybrid workers strongly agree that they feel connected to their organization, compared with 20% of employees overall.

As many companies experiment with hybrid work, one question has risen above the others: What about our culture? There's a common belief that when employees are physically together, they develop important social bonds that simply can't be replaced by email, Zoom and Slack.
The reality is that the office never equaled culture. Gallup data show that, despite significant lip service and investment in "company culture" over the years, there's very little to show for it. Only two in 10 U.S. workers feel connected to their organization's culture. While in-person interactions are powerful, they alone were never enough to create the magic of connectedness.
So, what explains why hybrid is working better? Hybrid workers may feel more connected to their organization's culture because the office and the remote workplace are being treated with greater intentionality.
Hybrid workplaces have been forced to make in-office experiences more meaningful and substantial. In addition, hybrid workers feel more supported in their wellbeing. They are more likely to feel that their organization cares about them, which makes them feel more connected to the values, mission and purpose of the organization.
Notably, Gallup's analysis finds that managers are experiencing the hybrid workplace differently than other roles within an organization. Hybrid managers feel less connected to their company culture than do remote or on-site managers. They also feel less connected than hybrid leaders.
Much of remote and hybrid work planning has focused on helping the individual contributor. During the worst parts of the pandemic, managers were tasked with making sure their teams had everything they needed to be productive, from equipment to schedule flexibility to communications from leadership. Individual contributors have been able to minimize many of the distractions of the office, allowing them more focused time or the ability to get their work done in greater comfort.
In the past, managers often leaned on other managers in their peer group to help them navigate challenges -- and those peers may not be as available as they were in the office. Accessing resources, social or otherwise, may be more challenging than before. In other words, managers are likely missing peer and organizational support, even as they support their teams' transition into the hybrid workplace.
Don't be afraid of losing your culture to hybrid. Fears of culture collapse are likely exaggerated. And it's important to listen to what employees are asking for. Managers may be nervous about hybrid, and for good reasons. But hybrid workplaces can be stronger workplaces with better workplace cultures -- if leaders focus on the key relationships and experiences that bond teams together.
Results for the 2022 Gallup Workforce Panel study are based on self-administered web surveys conducted Feb. 3-14, 2022, with a random sample of 15,982 full-time and part-time employees, aged 18 and older, who are members of the Gallup Panel. Gallup uses probability-based, random sampling methods to recruit its Panel members.Gallup weighted the obtained samples to correct for nonresponse. Nonresponse adjustments were made by adjusting the sample to match the national demographics of gender, age, race, Hispanic ethnicity, education and region. Demographic weighting targets were based on the most recent Current Population Survey figures for the aged 18 and older U.S. population.For results based on the sample of U.S. working adults, the margin of sampling error is 1 percentage point at the 95% confidence level. In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.

Perceived air quality, Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) symptoms and productivity were studied in an existing office in which the air pollution level could be modified by introducing or removing a pollution source. This reversible intervention allowed the space to be classified as either non-low-polluting or low-polluting, as specified in the new European design criteria for the indoor environment CEN CR 1752 (1998). The pollution source was a 20-year-old used carpet which was introduced on a rack behind a screen so that it was invisible to the occupants. Five groups of six female subjects each were exposed to the conditions in the office twice, once with the pollution source present and once with the pollution source absent, each exposure being 265 min in the afternoon, one group at a time. They assessed the perceived air quality and SBS symptoms while performing simulated office work. The subject-rated acceptability of the perceived air quality in the office corresponded to 22% dissatisfied when the pollution source was present, and to 15% dissatisfied when the pollution source was absent. In the former condition there was a significantly increased prevalence of headaches (P = 0.04) and significantly lower levels of reported effort (p = 0.02) during the text typing and calculation tasks, both of which required a sustained level of concentration. In the text typing task, subjects worked significantly more slowly when the pollution source was present in the office (P = 0.003), typing 6.5% less text than when the pollution source was absent from the office Reducing the pollution load on indoor air proved to be an effective means of improving the comfort, health and productivity of building occupants.
After you download the Office Deployment Tool, double-click on the officedeploymenttool executable (.exe) file to extract the ODT files. When you're finished, you should have several files: setup.exe and some sample configuration.xml files. For an Office 2019-specific sample, see Sample configuration.xml file to use with the Office Deployment Tool.
Once you have a copy of the ODT, you need to create a configuration.xml file. You can create multiple configuration.xml files to be used with the ODT. For example, you would create a configuration.xml file to download and install the 64-bit version of Office Professional Plus 2019 in English and a different configuration.xml file to install the 32-bit version of Visio Professional 2019 in French. When you run the ODT from an elevated command prompt, you specify which configuration.xml file to use.
Instead of using a text editor to create your configuration.xml, we recommend that you use the Office Customization Tool (OCT). The OCT provides a web-based interface for making your selections and creating your configuration.xml file to be used with the Office Deployment Tool. For more information, see Overview of the Office Customization Tool. Please note that this is different than the Office Customization Tool that you might have used in the past to install volume licensed versions of Office that used Windows Installer (MSI) as the installation technology.
