The COVID-19 pandemic had an unprecedented, direct impact on the way many of us work. In its wake,
widespread remote work became operational, tasking world leaders, organizations, and individuals with embracing a new way of communicating and collaborating. And while pandemic-related restrictions have loosened, remote and hybrid work have remained. 66% of U.S. employees work remotely, at least part-time, according to Zippia.
That’s because many businesses and governments have found that they can empower their workers by combining the best of both worlds — employees can enjoy the flexibility of remote work while meeting in person or in the office when necessary. Hybrid work is now a reality, with entities around the globe taking their own approaches to implementing it as an enduring structure for workplace collaboration.
By formalizing hybrid work policies, organizations in a growing number of sectors and industries have not only adapted to the preferences of both their leadership² and employees, but have contributed to broader, positive outcomes — driving economic development, expanding opportunities for certain groups of people, implementing modern accessibility measures, helping the environment,
and supporting personal well-being. Similarly, governments have the ability — and in some cases have already begun — to adopt policies that support the broad and inclusive dissemination of the benefits of hybrid work.
