Almost all studies and reports conducted last year have called it ‘hybrid work’. Basically, it’s a new way of working that has been functioning within the business fabric for a couple of years now.
This change is at advanced levels and tests leadership that now needs to reshape office space and rearrange teams. In this sense, many companies have seen hidden benefits within this innovative employment modality. For this reason, executives have wanted to adopt these new measures and try to obtain advantages through them.
What is hybrid work?
Hybrid work is a modality that gives workers the flexibility they need to work from anywhere. These workers can work from the office, home or anywhere else in the world. Companies can determine hybrid work schedules that delimit the hours and dates that are expected workers to work per day. These hours, as we mentioned, they could cover them from the office or from anywhere else.
The truth is that, the stops caused by the pandemic showed the whole world that many office workers can be just as productive working from their own home. In this sense, both employees and organizations have discovered various benefits of remote work.
In this way, now that companies can make workers return to the offices, the question is whether to return to the old work model. On the other hand, the benefits of remote work can continue to be exploited. After all, both the remote work model and the traditional one have their pros and cons.
The solution to this, which many companies are leaning towards, is hybrid work. The hybrid work modality aims to obtain all the benefits as possible. Both those of working in the office, and those of working remotely.
What does this new work modality offer us?
Benefits of hybrid work for workers
- Better balance between work and personal life. At this point, the direct benefit is that the hours lost in commuting to and from the company have ended. This allows employees to better combine work with other errands.
- Greater flexibility. Workers can choose where to do their work and, on some occasions or cases, when to do it.
- Better levels of satisfaction. Workers tend to be happier if they have more flexibility and autonomy to choose their workplace. Happy employees obtain a notable improvement in their levels of production and performance.
Advantages of hybrid work for companies
- Hire the best candidates. Now that working from home is an acceptable alternative in various companies, many candidates seek to work in organizations where this modality is offered. Make sure that your company can attract the best job applicants by offering the opportunity to work from home.
- Higher staff performance. We repeat it, happy and satisfied workers tend to be much more productive and have a higher performance. Additionally, these levels of satisfaction also allow us to reduce the existing degree of labor turnover.
- Cost reduction. The fact that employees work from their homes means that money is better spent on renting and furnishing office space.
How to successfully implement hybrid work in a company?
There is a way to ensure that any company gets the most out of its workers through hybrid work. This is by clearly communicating its hybrid work policy thus improving internal communication and investing in necessary tools for employees to be productive from anywhere.
- Clearly notify the hybrid work policy. We must ensure that our employees, from the beginning, know everything that is expected of them to avoid potential problems. This includes saying if there are some hours that the job must fulfill if he works from his home, etc.
- Allow your team to work remotely. There are computer tools that allow remote workers to be much more productive. Communication, collaboration, and project management are some essential tools for remote work teams.
Another relevant tool is remote access, which can be implemented by workers to remotely access the company’s computers. They can do this through any smart device that is connected to the internet. In this sense, hybrid work can be easily applied thanks to the advantages provided by current technology. You can try to apply this new work modality in your company so that you can enjoy its benefits and novelties.
