In its Work Smarter column, Wired examines the trends industry leaders think will shape work in 2022. Among the predictions for what the future holds for U.S. workplaces are that hybrid work will become a central model, though it comes with the need for managers to address proximity bias and everyone to become better at video calls.

While creating such policies requires effort and buy-in from employers, employees want to find a balance between personal and work lives — and may switch jobs to achieve it.
