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 and accommodating different work styles.
What are the benefits of hybrid work?
The hybrid work model can lead to improved employee engagement, productivity, and overall well-being. According to a 2023 survey, 40% of HR professionals noted productivity gains as a key benefit of work-from-home arrangements. Additionally, it allows for focused work, reduces commuting time, and fosters inclusivity by enabling organizations to tap into a broader talent pool.
How has the pandemic influenced work arrangements?
The COVID-19 pandemic acted as a catalyst for change, demonstrating that many jobs could be effectively performed remotely. A University of Otago survey indicated that 67% of participants preferred a hybrid work model during the pandemic, highlighting a shift in work culture and expectations towards more flexible arrangements.
