People analytics and HR research

Find peer-reviewed evidence on people management practices, leadership effectiveness, and organizational culture interventions. Build research briefs that give clients confidence in strategy recommendations.

What does the evidence say about hybrid work models and employee engagement? I need peer-reviewed research to support a client recommendation on return-to-office policy.

Synthesized 9 peer-reviewed studies (2020–2024). Key findings: hybrid 2-3 days in office shows no significant difference in engagement vs fully remote (effect size d=0.08). Flexibility itself is the key driver (β=0.31, p<0.001 in Bloom et al. 2023 Stanford study). Attrition risk: mandating 5-day in-office linked to 18% higher voluntary turnover for knowledge workers. Manager relationship is the primary mediating factor.
