In yet another win for the hybrid office and the flexible nature of the future of work, PepsiCo recently launched its Work that Works plan. This initiative does away with the idea that the office is the primary location where work is done and that remote work is somehow secondary. “There are no limitations. There is no number of days you need to be in the office or a number of days you can be remote,” said Sergio Ezama, PepsiCo’s chief talent officer and chief human resources officer. The concept is simple, and it’s an approach many other large organizations are taking. PepsiCo is giving employees the opportunity to decide for themselves which work structures work best and trusting them to do their work in an appropriate and timely fashion. This will redefine the role of the office. “While we will spend less time in the office, the time in the office we believe will be more important. And we think the office is going to play critical roles for PepsiCo,” Ezama says. “One is to create and collaborate…. Research proves that these things are better done in the same physical environment. Anything that is connected to innovation, cracking difficult problems, all that we believe will be nicely done via the office.”
