Mixing it up: Hybrid work models can offer the best of both worlds for worker well-being and productivity
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon sparked debate on the future of work in New Zealand this week when he ordered public service employees back to the office.
What is the hybrid work model?
A hybrid work model combines both in-office and remote work, allowing employees to split their time between working from home and working in the office. This approach aims to enhance worker well-being and productivity by providing flexibility, which has been shown to improve engagement and job satisfaction.
What are the benefits of hybrid work?
The hybrid work model offers several benefits, including increased productivity, improved employee engagement, and enhanced overall well-being. A 2023 survey indicated that 40% of HR professionals recognized productivity gains as a key advantage of work-from-home arrangements. Additionally, it allows for reduced commuting time and fosters inclusivity by enabling organizations to tap into a broader talent pool.
How has the perception of remote work changed?
The perception of remote work has shifted significantly, particularly due to the COVID pandemic, which demonstrated that many jobs could be effectively performed remotely. Surveys indicate that a majority of workers prefer hybrid models, with 67% expressing a preference for this arrangement. This change reflects a growing recognition that productivity should be measured by outcomes rather than time spent in the office.
