Hybrid Shift Builds Momentum As Economic Recovery Begins
As vaccination programmes around the world help businesses return to growth, it’s clearer than ever that hybrid working is here to stay.
As vaccination programmes around the world help businesses return to growth, it’s clearer than ever that hybrid working is here to stay.
IWG research shows that 72% of office workers would prefer long-term flexibility over where they’re based to extra money, while two thirds would not apply for a new job unless it offered hybrid working.
The shift to hybrid working has seen franchise partnerships rise by 350% in the first half of this year.
Hybrid working has the potential to revitalise communities, as workers spend more time working at home or close to home. The ‘hub-and-spoke’ model and an increase in the number of flexible workspaces can also contribute to an increase in wellbeing and community spirit.
Economic growth can come from increased productivity, and the hybrid model gives workers the opportunity to choose when and where they’re likely to be at their most effective.
