Hybrid mode

“Hybrid mode” in the workplace refers to a work organization model in which employees have the option of combining remote work (usually from home or a location of their choice) with in-person work in the office or in a physical workplace. This model provides employees with significant flexibility in choosing where and how they do their work based on their preferences and job needs.

The main characteristics of the hybrid mode are as follows:

‍

• Workplace flexibility: Employees have the option of working remotely, online, or off-site, while also having the option of working in the office on a flexible schedule.

• Flexible schedules: Work schedules are adapted to individual needs, allowing employees to manage their working time more independently.

• Technology and connectivity: A solid technology infrastructure is essential to enable employees to collaborate effectively and stay connected, whether in person or remotely.

• Flexible work policies: Company policies encourage and support hybrid work, with clear rules about how it should be implemented.

• In-person meetings and collaborations: Times when a physical presence is required, such as team meetings, creative workshops, or other collaborative activities, are planned to optimize in-person interaction.

• Results-based performance evaluation: Employees are evaluated based on their productivity, the quality of their work, and their contribution to business results, rather than how much time they spend in the office.

‍

Hybrid mode has become particularly relevant in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced many organizations to adopt remote working. Many businesses have chosen to maintain this hybrid work model even after the end of the pandemic, recognizing the benefits it can offer in terms of flexibility for employees and reduced operating costs for the business.
