Last updated on 27th June 2024<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s no secret that the world of work has changed forever. And when it comes to whether the future of work will be in the office, or remote – the answer, for most, seems to be: both!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how do you make hybrid working work for you? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a look at what 64 businesses who switched to hybrid working have to say about their own successes\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education industry<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. <\/strong>\u201cEmployee satisfaction has been at an all-time high\u201d <\/em><\/strong>– <\/strong>LA Tutors<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince the pandemic arrived in full force back in March, 2020, we shifted all of our operations into a virtual format. We have since adapted a new hybrid model on a voluntary basis. Employees who enjoy working in person can do so if they are fully vaccinated, and those who prefer working remotely have the option of doing so as well. Remote work has required us to integrate new technologies and communications tools such as Zoom and Claap while also utilizing project management apps. These have allowed us to collaborate remotely and employee satisfaction has been at an all-time high.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Erik Kim, Program Director of LA Tutors<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. <\/strong>\u201cHybrid working is an amalgam of challenges and excitement for us\u201d<\/em><\/strong> – <\/strong>The Speaking Polymath<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMatching strides with the current changes in the preferences of the workforce, our organization has transitioned to hybrid working. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of now, hybrid working is an amalgam of challenges and excitement for us. As this is a new venture, we have to face a lot of turbulence at times. Keeping everyone connected, ensuring equality and equity in the organization are some of the challenges that we face. But, we are implementing some new policies and strategies in the organization to overcome them. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest benefits of transitioning to hybrid working is an increase in employee engagement. From surveys, questionnaires and feedback sessions we have found that with the transition to hybrid working, our workforce has become better engaged in work. There has been an increase in overall satisfaction, productivity and engrossment in work. As cultivating an engaged workforce was one of the biggest aspirations we had as an organization, we are glad that hybrid working has helped us fulfill it. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest challenges that we have faced is to ensure equity and equality among our workers. When half of the workforce works in the office and the other half works remotely, it becomes a challenge to make everyone feel equal and ensure equity. However hard you try, employees may find some loopholes and feel that one segment of the workforce is preferred over the other. For example, remote workers may feel that the managers are biased towards those working in the office. To prevent this from happening, we are deriving regular employee feedback to identify the issues and address them at the earliest.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Jessica Robinson, Content & Human Resource Manager at The Speaking Polymath<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. <\/strong>\u201cThe main benefit is seen in our health\u201d<\/em><\/strong> – <\/strong>Academia Labs LLC<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur company has implemented hybrid working since the start of the year. The main benefit of hybrid working is seen in our health. Since we have to go to the office a few days a week, we are forced to move around, hence, get some physical exercise. This is beneficial as some of us have been really sedentary since we had to work from home. Aside from that, communication has improved and there have been fewer arguments among our employees since they are now talking more face-to-face. There is really a big difference between virtual conversations and personal ones.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Craig Miller, Co-Founder of Academia Labs LLC<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hair & Beauty<\/strong> industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

4. <\/strong>\u201cThis has allowed us to bring in talent from far and wide\u201d<\/em><\/strong> – <\/strong>London Lash Pro<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a result of the pandemic we\u2019ve switched to hybrid working to safeguard both the health of our employees and our operational continuity. We have been able to recruit members of the team from outside of what our previous catchment area would have been. This has allowed us to bring in talent from far and wide, and with the use of software such as Google Meets and of course the usual emails\/Whatsapp etc, we\u2019ve been able to remain in contact.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Billy Green, CEO of London Lash Pro<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. <\/strong>\u201cMy employees are all motivated and more productive than ever\u201d<\/em><\/strong> – <\/strong>Dashboard Beauty<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight now, my employees are all in a work from home or remote work setup wherein they also have the flexibility to work whenever they can as long as they will meet all their deadlines and tasks. I am allowing them to have the freedom to choose when they are going to work. This hybrid working system is going great. My employees are all motivated and more productive than ever. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we started the remote from home and hybrid work set-up, our major challenge was communication. Since everyone can work anytime or any day they want, we weren\u2019t able to communicate well. But, over time we are able to resolve those communication issues by having our own work chat channel.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have several tools that we are using. We use Slack as our communication tool. We made sure that everyone in our team has a slack app on their phone. We use Google Meets as well for our weekly meetings. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know that working from home and this hybrid working set-up is hard to implement but with the right tools and proper guidance to your employees it will make a big difference to companies on how they will handle their employees.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Ava Hathaway, Founder of Dashboard Beauty<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. <\/strong>\u201cEmployees working in hybrid workplaces get the best of both worlds\u201d<\/em><\/strong> – <\/strong>AfroLovely<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHybrid work environments give employees the independence and flexibility they need to balance their work life and home life. The end result is employee satisfaction and happiness. When employees are given the autonomy to manage their own work schedules, they become relieved of the work-life conflict and stress that comes with traditional work environments of being in the office from 9 to 5. Employees working in hybrid workplaces get the best of both worlds.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Sharon Terera, HR Consultant affiliated with AfroLovely<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online Businesses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

7. <\/strong>\u201cA much happier, healthier and productive workplace\u201d <\/em><\/strong>– <\/strong>Home Grounds<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHybrid working has allowed our business the perfect opportunity to mix in office face time while still being still able to manage our at home life – making sure we are allowing space for the personal life to take as much precedent as the professional set-up and allowing people the ability to be caregivers, etc while still completing their work. Hybrid working allows us to achieve the best of both worlds, and although it changes and develops over time with different team members, it still makes for a much happier, healthier and productive workplace.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Alex Mastin, Founder & CEO at Home Grounds<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. \u201cA perfect opportunity to rebuild in a way that works for us\u201d<\/em> – SBO<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimply by taking away commute times, it feels like you are winning back some personal time which can go a long way to helping productivity and work satisfaction. On top of this, I think a hybrid work structure really helps our team communicate more and in better ways, introducing collaboration tools to make sure that everyone is in the loop. Of course learning a new way of working is always gonna hit some bumps in the road, and introducing hybrid working is no different, but doing this at a time the world is metaphorically putting itself back together seems like a perfect opportunity to rebuild in a way that works for us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Mario Cacciottolo, PR & Branding Manager at SBO<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. <\/strong>\u201cThings took a sharp turn with overall positive results\u201d<\/em><\/strong> – <\/strong>Vinpit<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been over a year since our company integrated a hybrid working environment. Although there were challenges at first, things took a sharp turn with overall positive results. Just like we all know, workers have different working preferences and they are more likely to choose what works for them if they\u2019re given the chance to. For instance, some of our employees enjoy working in-office while others work remotely. For those working remotely, some prefer working at certain times of the day that\u2019s different from others. Since our company\u2019s projects allow us to be more flexible, we tend to give employees the freedom of working at any time of the day provided they meet the deadlines. The immediate effect we\u2019ve seen by implementing this strategy is an increase in productivity and overall growth of the business.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Alex Wan, Co-Founder at Vinpit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. <\/strong>\u201cHybrid working has many bright sides\u201d<\/em><\/strong> – <\/strong>iFax<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think we\u2019re doing good [with hybrid working]. One of my employees said that it makes the whole team feel more comfortable. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think the benefit is you can interact personally with real people for some time in the week. You are working in both worlds as a remote worker and still maintaining your interpersonal skills with the people in your office.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think one of my challenges is technology. At first I kinda got used to the traditional way of working directly with my employees, but now I realize that hybrid working has many bright sides and I am adapting to it.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Adam Korbl, CEO of iFax<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. <\/strong>\u201cProductivity has been at optimal levels because none of my staff are stressed or overwhelmed\u201d <\/em><\/strong>– <\/strong>How I Get Rid Of<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been following a hybrid work set up for the last eight years since the website began its operations. I run a team consisting of digital content creators, SEO, and social media experts, as well as web developers and designers. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, I\u2019ve fortunately made the entire team work. Meetings\/brainstorming sessions are done at a time that\u2019s convenient for everyone, regardless of where they are in the world. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefits that I\u2019ve seen are on the productivity side. It\u2019s been at optimal levels because none of my staff are stressed or overwhelmed. It\u2019s also made us give importance to communication, which surprisingly isn\u2019t a strong suit among many teams. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the challenges, the only thing we\u2019ve struggled with is the times when we aren\u2019t able to find common ground between all of us, in terms of when to meet. It happens rarely, but we do find a way to pass on the information, which is great. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the tools, we keep it simple. For day-to-day conversations and announcements, Slack is our go-to. It\u2019s very simple to use and has an interface that\u2019s easy to understand. For virtual meetings, we go with Zoom. It\u2019s not as intrusive as Skype because, with this one, you don\u2019t need to call the other person up. It\u2019s just a matter of joining a meeting room, like how you\u2019d do in a face-to-face setting.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Jack Miller, Founder of How I Get Rid Of <\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. \u201cIt is important to foster connection with your team\u201d<\/em> – <\/strong>Messente<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/em>\u201c<\/em>So far, hybrid work has been going well for us. To make it work, we migrated operations to a centralized cloud-based system. This ensures that all employees have equal and easy access to the tools they need in order to do their tasks effectively.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, even if hybrid work worked for us, it did not come easy. We encountered many challenges, and one of them was deep engagement. It is important to foster connection with your team. Employees who have good working relationships with their co-workers tend to be more engaged and more productive. To help our employees make meaningful connections, we provide virtual team-building opportunities and do check-ins at the start of the meeting to allow everyone to talk with each other and share what\u2019s going on with their lives.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Lauri Kinkar, CEO at Messente<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. \u201cYou could spend less time on low-value tasks\u201d<\/em> – <\/strong>EpicWin App<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHybrid work, in theory, provides the ideal balance of ease and productivity. If your organization adopts a hybrid work model, you could spend less time on low-value tasks like commuting or attempting to concentrate on deep work in a busy workplace. You may use those hours to do high-value work at home, such as collaborating with colleagues or finishing deep work more quickly.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-James Stephenson, Co-Founder of EpicWin App<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. \u201cSlack can function as both a work and social tool\u201d <\/em>– <\/strong>Simple Solar Living<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/em>\u201c<\/em>You need to be actively working each day to engage with your employees, in order to reduce their own feelings of being siloed, and stay aware of how projects are progressing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your company uses a communication tool such as Slack, then you as the manager need to be encouraging employees to use it — and not only for work! Slack can function as both a work and social tool, and should be used as such in order to keep a sense of play alive in your team.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Eric Thomas, Founder of Simple Solar Living<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. \u201cHaving a hybrid workforce has made collaborations and team meetings much easier to manage\u201d<\/em> – <\/strong>CocoDoc<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/em>\u201c<\/em>We went hybrid three months back, and it’s been working generally well so far, if not for a few challenges here and there. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While hybrid has helped us get some in-office presence, it’s also contributed a lot to some level of team misalignment in the workplace. Having a hybrid workforce has made collaborations and team meetings much easier to manage. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In retrospect, our biggest mistake while moving from full remote working into hybrid working was failing to create a strategy to bridge the gap between in-office employees and those working remotely. Balancing in-office and remote employees during meetings was also a challenge during the first few weeks. Having a physical meeting with one bunch and a virtual meeting with the other creates a lot of issues. Communication also tends to get lost in between the platforms. In our experience, using a virtual video platform for all employees is the only way to bridge the disadvantage against remote employees. Even those who are working from the office can log in to a meeting remotely.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Alina Clark, Co-Founder of CocoDoc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16. \u201cThere is an environment of cheer and merriment that seeps into the work we do\u201d<\/em> – <\/strong>TruePeopleSearch<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/em>\u201cThe feeling of being back in the office with my employees is unparalleled by any other. Work is much smoother, productivity levels are higher, and there is a general environment of cheer and merriment that seeps into the work we do. The main benefits of hybrid working are, without a doubt, the feeling of being back in the office, which pushes our employees to work harder and be more productive,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, however, there were some advantages to remote work as well. It is more expensive for the company to have employees return to the office since rent and utilities do cost a significant amount for the company. Additionally, managing a hybrid team can be incredibly challenging at times, simply because it can be difficult to coordinate between and across teams when employees are present in two different modalities. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make hybrid working more successful and integrate the full team better, we host a virtual \u2018Happy Hour\u2019 every Friday for our employees one hour before the workday ends. Happy Hour basically consists of drinks and games that require a team effort, such as treasure hunts and escape rooms.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

17. \u201cWe\u2019ve discovered that remote work, well, works\u201d<\/em> – <\/strong>Voices<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/em>\u201c<\/em>After having to rapidly transition to remote work in the midst of Covid-19, Voices discovered that remote work, well, works. As such, the company has decided to permanently offer the choice of in-office, hybrid, or remote work models to its employees\u2014and it’s working well!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Productivity and progress are unhindered, and work-life balance has improved among employees. Being able to save on the commute alone is a significant give-back of time for many, and the flexibility of working from home (or anywhere with an Internet connection) has allowed Voices to consider talent outside its usual geographic area, leading to expanded hiring opportunities. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Social Committee has also done a fantastic job of continuing to provide social events and opportunities, while the DEIBs (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion + Belonging) Committee continues to provide educational and learning opportunities. We maintain regular, company-wide meetings like our regular Monday morning Huddle, as well as regular meetings with our respective teams, i.e. Monday and Friday morning Marketing team check-ins. This leaves everyone feeling connected, supported, and valued.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

18. \u201cThis has led to an irreplicable increase in morale and productivity\u201d<\/em> – <\/strong>Convincely<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur team is spread around the world, with developers and designers based in Australia and an extended team located in London and Brazil. The team works from the office, but one of the biggest challenges we faced was keeping everybody connected despite the distance and time zone differences. To remedy this, each employee has been given the option to work remotely if they choose. Offering this choice has given employees greater autonomy over their working schedule, including the specific hours that they work and where they’re working from. This has led to an irreplicable increase in morale and productivity.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Gregory Yong, Chief Experience Officer at Convincely<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insurance<\/strong> industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

19. \u201cWe\u2019ve created a workplace that brings a sense of belongingness\u201d<\/em> – <\/strong>My Choice<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/em>\u201c<\/em>In the months of hybrid working, I have seen various factors that most commonly cause managers to fail in handling a hybrid team. These are lack of communication, the nonexistence of proper equipment, and working from home with no operational methods.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of that, we gave employees more exceptional mobility and connection to create a workplace that brings a sense of belongingness. In addition, we improved the accessibility of data through Dropbox, which aids our team members with their jobs, especially in file-sharing. We also developed standard hybrid work plans through workplace collaboration tools and systems, like Slack.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Matthew Roberts, Chief Operating Officer at My Choice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

20. <\/strong>\u201cWhat we are now calling \u2018hybrid\u2019 should be the real deal\u201d<\/em><\/strong> – <\/strong>Insurance Geek<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe hybrid working model has worked like a charm for us for the past four years or so. We believe in a new and upgraded idea of working and the hybrid model gives us just what we need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are also focusing on making hours flexible and enhancing virtual management skills to ensure that work is a part of life and not life as a whole.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An increase in autonomy at work has shown us a tremendous increase in productivity. This is something that we plan to continue even when the ordeal has completely passed us. This is because we work more efficiently and because it has impacted us positively from a psychological standpoint.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think a more progressive idea needs to be accepted in terms of embracing virtual leadership and focusing on leading wholesome lives instead of sticking to rules that were made a century ago.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we are now calling hybrid should be the real deal, and while I truly believe that it will be in the days to come – let us start manifesting this marvellous idea.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

21. <\/strong>\u201cFiguring this out felt impossible!\u201d<\/em><\/strong> – <\/strong>Bennett Packaging<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy company introduced hybrid working as the Covid-19 pandemic began to ease, and we returned to normal. Hybrid working was an important step towards supporting employee wellbeing as we all welcomed (if hesitantly) the return to office banter and break room chats. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, one of the biggest challenges was establishing everybody’s comfort zone. Every employee had different boundaries where some might want to wear a mask at all times within the office, and some might be happy to share a table in the breakroom with a colleague.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I won’t lie that as a leader figuring this out felt impossible! But ultimately, the task was up to me to safeguard my employees mental and physical wellbeing. So, we asked each employee for their boundaries and implemented some policies to help everyone feel more at ease. After all, employees can’t produce their best work if they’re uncomfortable in their work environment. These policies include sanitization stations, temperature checking upon arrival and regular cleaning of all shared surfaces such as door handles and vending machines.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

22. <\/strong>\u201cEmployees have enjoyed flexibility\u201d<\/em><\/strong> – <\/strong>Wiringo.com<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy company recently implemented hybrid working and so far, it has proven to be a good idea. The employees have enjoyed flexibility in carrying out their duties and have been less exposed to illness. It has also enabled the employment of talented individuals across the world.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notwithstanding, it has its challenges. There is little or no proper office set up for the employees, thus affecting their productiveness and they may begin to feel undervalued without regular input from the managers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To tackle these challenges, provision for regular facetime communication amongst members and managers has been formulated.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/em>\u201cIn our company we have implemented hybrid working for the last four months. It created a workplace culture that empowers our workers to work flexibly depending on the type of work they must do and the individual circumstances. And at the same time, they can enjoy both the advantages of remote working and traditional office work.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hybrid working enabled opportunities for more accessible, more seamless collaboration and proved essential for the growth of our workers and optimization of our business outcomes by 24%.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnderstanding how to use tools when working in a remote environment is of utmost importance. From project management to automation and video messaging, our company has taken advantage of these resources and have not only found success in doing so but have capitalized on the increasing demand for a hybrid model within the talent pool. Implementing a forum for feedback, project management software to measure performance and store client information, and establishing a dialogue where everyone is comfortable enough to voice their concerns, has enabled us to assess what is a collective issue and what is more of a personal problem.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

25. \u201cEmployees can work in the environment that best matches their needs\u201d<\/em> –\u00a0 <\/strong>Webcitz<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/em>\u201c<\/em>Employees can work in the environment that best matches their work-related needs using a hybrid work model; some employees may flourish working from home, while others may require a quiet and distraction-free workspace in an office. This amount of autonomy, which allows employees to work from home, in an office, or a combination of both, leads to increased employee satisfaction by allowing employees to feel more trust between themselves and their colleagues. This flexibility may also lead to a better work-life balance, which has a significant impact on employee satisfaction.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
