Hybrid working | Productivity in a changing working world

Hybrid work­ing is the sub­ject on everyone’s lips at the moment. How will it work? What’s the most effec­tive office to remote split? Will it be per­ma­nent? And, of course, will staff be pro­duc­tive when split­ting their time between locations?

So what is hybrid working?

Hybrid work­ing is a way of com­bin­ing office work and remote work­ing to bet­ter fit the needs of the organ­i­sa­tion and its staff. It can look dif­fer­ent depend­ing on the organ­i­sa­tion, some may choose to have set rules such as ‘all staff come into the office 3 days a week’, whilst oth­ers may let staff choose which loca­tion they work in on a day to day basis. How your hybrid sys­tem will look should be con­sid­ered care­ful­ly, so you ensure it works as well as pos­si­ble for your staff and your organisation.

Staff pro­duc­tiv­i­ty is key for an organ­i­sa­tion to suc­ceed, so if staff are dis­tract­ed, unset­tled or stressed at work, this can have a huge knock on effect. But how can you com­bat this? How do you ensure your staff are pro­duc­tive in a hybrid work­ing environment?
