While the freelancers had been enjoying them for years, the world at large got to know the perks of working from home during the pandemic.
The freedom to work in PJs, without suffering the constant distractions that a typical workplace usually has, and finally having the ability to ditch the long commutes that make you question if all of this is worth it — those were just some of the many incredible benefits of remote working we got introduced to in 2020.
People responded to the newfound freedom and flexibility of remote work so well that when they were asked to return to offices, it triggered a massive resignation movement across the developed world. Countries like the UK and France were hit too and C-Suites around the world had to sit with their teams to figure out how to retain employees by giving them what they want while also ensuring they remain their most productive while on the job.
The hybrid work model was developed as an answer to this dilemma.
It combines the best of both worlds. It gives employees the flexibility of creating a much healthier work-life balance and employers the ability to make their start performers stick with the team.
The hybrid work model has proven to be such a success that it’s now implemented in more than 60 successful corporations from around the world. Including Amazon, Ford, DoorDash, and Intel. Here’s the complete list.
These companies, belonging to a range of distinct industries — retail to automotive and food delivery to technology and beyond— are a prominent example of the hybrid work can be successful in a wide range of economic sectors.
Successful to the point that it leaves all traditional workforce models behind in terms of productivity, employee retention, and employee satisfaction scores.
Yet, it’s not a universal solution to all workforce challenges. Teams who work mostly on computers are its main beneficiaries. Industries where the workforce is required to be more hands-on, such as healthcare and manufacturing, may not be able to benefit from hybrid work environments that well.
If you are thinking of implementing a hybrid work model and are wondering about the best way to do it, here is a helpful infographic to move you along.
