More Companies Shifting To A Hybrid Work Model



The future of work is hybrid. According to recent studies, more than 50 percent of people expect to be 10 days or even less in the office. Also, nearly 100 percent believe that all meetings in the future will include remote participants as well as the ones that are working from the office. It is clear that companies and organizations need to adapt to the hybrid work model fast, as schools are now opening around the world and people are getting back to work from holidays. How can a hybrid work model be implemented to each organization accordingly and what are the best tools for that?



How To Drive Connected Remote Work

When your company or organization is making decisions on a hybrid work model, make sure every collaboration experience is always engaging, inclusive and also safe. By making sure these things are in order you are able to create a working space that resembles being face to  face with your employees and co-workers.

How to create a safer office then? You must enforce new guidelines and make spaces safer by having a lot of touchless and voice-activated options for different functions. You should also be focusing on the well-being of your people by trying to reduce situations that could lead to burnouts. Also, making sure relationships are stronger from anywhere plays a crucial role here.

Managing hybrid work might sound difficult in the beginning, but in reality, by choosing the best possible tools you are able to create enjoyable, multi-functional and flowing workspaces. The right kind of tools are helping you with simple admin, deeper insights and overall management.

Does Hybrid Model Come With Bonuses?

A case study that was made in Finland shows that hybrid models can have several bonuses and benefits, both to business and employees. Bonus ilman kierrätystä, as they say in Finland, is a benefit used for instance at many online casinos. The term means many types of benefits for the customer. The same bonus model that casinos are using, can be implemented to multiple different areas with a hybrid model. How?

Let us explain. Casinos are one of the most advanced digital businesses in the world. The companies have been using hybrid work models already long before the covid hit. When the entire business is running digitally, it’s easier to let people work from anywhere. The hybrid model that these digital game sites have been using is a great example of the benefits employees and the companies are getting.

First of all, with a hybrid work model all employees are able to choose the best possible working style for them. This can have huge impacts on the well-being of individuals and by that the company or organization, too. When people have a choice, even after the pandemic, they are more likely happy with their work.

Remote Work or Hybrid Work Model?

About two months ago the situation with Covid seemed a lot different than it is now. The world thought that the pandemic was soon coming to its end, or at least be in a much better situation. Back then companies and organizations were already pushing new hybrid work models into action, or at least making preparations for the fall.

Everything changed rapidly, when the new Delta variant came into the picture. At the moment many organizations and companies are pulling back from the hybrid work model and choosing to stay with remote work. That might be a clever thing to do, especially in those countries where people are still largely unvaccinated or refusing to use masks.

Nevertheless, at some point the world will return to normal, or at least much closer to that. In the new age a hybrid work model is most likely something that the majority of employees are expecting. If you are a company owner, now’s the time to start planning the best possible model for your business.

Choosing the Best Tools

Hybrid work models, same as remote work, require new kinds of tools. With the help of these tools you are able to create safe, efficient and easy-to-use workspaces for everyone. There are a number of tools to choose from. Some of them are free but these free tools are best choices for smaller companies. If you want to get the full power of tools for hybrid work, you need to choose a plan. Luckily, the majority of all the tools available have created suitable plans for each need and budget.
