Stagility: Balancing Agility & Stability in the Hybrid Model

Listen to the Audio Brief

The Hybrid Model presents a significant challenge: finding the sweet spot between agility (the flexibility to adapt to changing business needs) and stability (the security and predictability employees crave). Deloitte calls this essential equilibrium ‘Stagility’. While a striking 85% of leaders prize agility, a contrasting 75% of employees crave stability. Consequently, this lack of stability — often seen in uncertainty about career paths or unequal access to opportunities — is a primary driver of burnout and high employee turnover. To succeed in a dispersed and flexible work environment, your digital tools must become the unifying, predictable anchor for sustained growth.

The Growing Tension of Modern Work

The Deloitte 2025 Global Human Capital Trends report underscores this tension: 75% of employees hope for greater stability in their future work. Yet, 85% of leaders recognize the critical need for organizational agility. This conflict is severe. The same report notes that 41% of daily work is spent on non-essential tasks, leaving employees stressed and unproductive.

To address this gap, the solution to Stagility lies in creating new anchors of stability—commitments to growth, fairness, and clear career paths—that are not dependent on physical location. These anchors stabilize the employee experience even when the work itself constantly shifts.

Jobful: The Digital Anchor for Hybrid Work Growth
