Modern enterprises often don't have a fully in-person
or fully remote workforce. Some employees come to
campus every day. Others are distributed across the
country – or even the world – and rarely, if ever, come
into the office. And plenty of employees work in the
office on some days and remotely on others.
This mix of virtual and in-person workforces has given
rise to the hybrid workplace, also known as the dynamic
workplace, where businesses adapt their physical space
to accommodate both types of employees.
Hybrid workplaces are becoming increasingly common
and are likely here to stay. COVID-19 forced a lot
of businesses to temporarily become hybrid or fully
remote, and now employees and executives alike
are seeing the appeal on a much larger scale. Many
employees now expect this flexibility, and some
business leaders are eager to reduce their real estate
portfolios.
In this guide to the hybrid workplace, we'll walk you
through:
■ The various hybrid workplace models
■ The benefits of a hybrid workplace
■ How to implement a hybrid workplace
To begin, let's look at some of the different ways
businesses run a hybrid workplace.
Hybrid workplace models
While all hybrid workplaces have virtual and in-person
workforces, there are many ways to structure them.
