What is hybrid working?
According to Acas, hybrid working is a type of flexible working where an employee splits their time between the workplace and working remotely. Working from home is the most common approach to remote work. It’s a modern, smart blend of the two now-normalized ways of working, allowing employees to enjoy flexibility whilst also connecting face-to-face, avoiding the isolation that some peers who work remotely may face”
Pros and Cons
More deep work can increase concentration and productivity
Flexibility and work-life balance
Retention and acquisition
Everybody need to contribute, more inclusivity
Follow up mechanism
Must have clear goals
When people are at the workplace they work together. But can do it more productive.
Excellent approach is to combine hybrid, remote and office work.
Remote workers have disadvantages
Lack of connection to the companies culture
Lack of leadership
Rely on others to contribute, this can be resolved with better system.
To consider
Need for interpersonal and intercultural skills
“The Pearson Skills Outlook December 2022 report confirms that the
top five most sought-after skills are all ‘human skills’. Specifically,
communication and collaboration feature at the top of current skills
demand, while collaboration and cultural and social intelligence are
projected to rank highest by 2026″
These are all part of emotional intelligence. Something computers do not have. Therefore most sought after future skills.
