How Can a Hybrid Work Model Benefit Your Team In the New Normal?

In 2021, a global survey found that 73% of employees want flexible remote work options!

What is a Hybrid Work Model?

The hybrid work model is a work style that allows employees to work from various locations, including at home, on the go, and in the office. A successful hybrid work model system promotes:

• Autonomy
• Flexibility
• High efficiency
• Collaboration
• Effective work habits
• Positive workplace relationships

Office Working Conditions In The New Normal

After the pandemic, how will offices look? It's a good question, but it raises an even better one: After a year of working remotely, how much post-pandemic life will take place in an office?



Finance managers would like to explore ways to make pandemic-related efficiencies more efficient, such as shrinking office footprints and increasing technology use. 

A hybrid work model schedule is in which an optimally sized team commutes to headquarters. At the same time, other colleagues work from home is an excellent way to cash productivity gains while eliminating losses over the past year.

How To Build a Hybrid Work Model?

The following steps can help answer the question:

1. Define Expectations from Remote Workers

Employees who work remotely have the flexibility to work a few hours in the morning and the rest of their shift at night. These work schedules must be agreed upon ahead of time.

• When working remotely, people can set their schedules once these expectations are established.

2. Ensuring Cover In the Office

One of the most challenging aspects of hybrid work model scheduling is determining who needs to be at the office and when. One reason for this is clients are not expected to work around their schedules. For in-person meetings, they'll expect the relevant people to be present. 

• Evaluate the number of people needed in the office and list any professionals who will be required on-site.

3. Schedule Team Meetings

Team meetings help to share the best practices and analyze problems. Meetings should be held while people are on-site. Alternatively, hybrid meetings can be held, with remote workers calling into the conference room or continuing with all virtual gatherings.

4. Continue to Look Over the Schedule

For many people, a hybrid work model will be a new and potentially disorientating experience. Regularly check in with everyone and ask questions about the employee's confidence while working from home, if they feel essential during team discussions etc.

Final Thoughts

Employees are concerned they will miss out on opportunities for advancement because of this full-time remote work's lack of visibility. Some people are worried that their relationships will suffer if they don't see their coworkers in person. However, most people still don't want to return to full-time work because they prefer hybrid flexibility.

Megacorporation’s are already experimenting with a hybrid work model that allows employees to work remotely part of the time. It's not just for Enterprise companies, which is why any company should consider hybrid work.
