Financial Services Firms Struggle With Hybrid Work Balance

A new Maptician report reveals financial services firms face ongoing struggles in managing hybrid work. The study shows that challenges around productivity, burnout, and real estate utilization remain widespread.

While financial leaders see hybrid work as the most productive model, the report highlights a critical divide. About 60% of respondents said hybrid schedules improve productivity. However, over half believe full-time office presence still supports collaboration more effectively. This contrast highlights what Maptician calls the “hybrid paradox.”

Burnout continues to affect all models. According to the data, 35% of employees said in-office roles carry the highest risk. Another 30% cited remote work as the most stressful, while 25% pointed to hybrid roles. At the same time, many firms lack clear insights into real estate costs. Around 35% admitted they either don’t know or won’t disclose their cost per square foot.

Survey Insights on Hybrid Workplace Trends

The survey, conducted in early 2025, sheds light on key industry trends. About 70% of respondents identified the lack of informal interaction as a top barrier to hybrid collaboration. To address this, firms are investing in better tools. Roughly 55% are upgrading collaboration technology, 40% are revising hybrid work policies, and 35% are rolling out new office engagement programs.

The report emphasizes that successful hybrid work requires more than flexible rules. It demands an intelligent workplace foundation that offers adaptability, visibility, and data-driven decisions. Maptician’s platform supports this by simplifying hybrid scheduling, optimizing office space, and improving employee engagement.

“Hybrid work isn’t just a policy decision, it’s an operational challenge,” said Alaa Pasha, CEO of Maptician. “Without strong tools for visibility, scheduling, and space planning, flexibility turns into friction. Our report shows how firms can move forward with intentional strategies.”
