Are you prepared for Hybrid Work?

In the first months of the pandemic, hybrid work was an emergency alternative. Today, it has become the choice for many companies and professionals.

Offering more flexibility and freedom, this format is becoming common because it offers many benefits to companies and also to professionals.

Come to know this scenario and how to adapt to this new reality. Check it out!

What is Hybrid Work?

Hybrid Work searches for balance between in-office work and remote work.

In this model, employees have the flexibility to alternate between days working at the office and days working from their homes, in co-working facilities, at restaurants, or at any other convenient place.

This approach allows for more freedom while maintaining the collaboration and physical presence when needed.

Hybrid work is becoming more and more popular because it offers advantages for the companies and for the employees creating an adaptable and more flexible environment.

A tendency that has come to stay

According to a Microsoft research, 58% of professionals are considering changing to remote or hybrid work in the following year.

In the whole world, the majority of workers state that health and well-being have become priorities. This is probably one of the reasons for this new model.

Still according to the research, 46% of the workers value organizations with a positive culture, 40% look for a sense of purpose, and 38% would like to have flexible hours. All these factors could benefit from the implementation of the hybrid format.

On the other hand, the interviewed managers state that their companies plan to return to full in-office work in the next months. This shows a preoccupying unbalance in expectations.

Professionals must dedicate exclusive time for work and not waste time with personal issues despite having flexible hours.
