As businesses reopen and hope for an end to this pandemic renews, employers are facing a big question: Should we switch to a hybrid work model?<\/span><\/p>\n

While much of the workforce abruptly went fully remote in March 2020, the transition to hybrid work has the potential to be a more thoughtful, intentional shift. Do it right, and it could reap large rewards. Do it wrong, and it could be just as messy as the original shift to remote.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, how can you ace the hybrid work model for your organization? Below, we\u2019ll go over tips on optimizing it and some examples of companies making it work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But first, what is a hybrid work model?<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is a Hybrid Work Model?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Simply put, a hybrid work model combines remote and office environments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What that ends up looking like varies depending on the company and the individual employee. Some companies allow their employees to choose how often they work remotely and how often they come into the office. If the company gives its employees freedom to choose, some employees may decide to work fully in-office, others may work fully remote, while still others may do a combination of the two. Some hybrid work companies, however, may require all employees to work at least a few days on-site.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What those remote days look like can also vary widely. For some, \u201cremote\u201d really just means they can work from home. For others, \u201cremote\u201d means they can work pretty much anywhere in the world. And still for others, \u201cremote\u201d is somewhere in between (for example, some companies permit remote work only within an employee\u2019s home region due to laws and regulations).<\/span><\/p>\n

At its core, the hybrid work model is about compromise and flexibility. Many employees were forced to go fully remote due to the pandemic, but now, they don\u2019t want to return to the office full-time. As a result, employers are trying to compromise by combining the best of both worlds (on-site and remote).<\/span><\/p>\n

But is there any evidence that the hybrid work model is desirable and beneficial? Yes, there is.<\/span><\/p>\n
