What is hybrid working?

Hybrid working is a flexible business model where employees can divide their time between an office environment and remote working. Having this model in place allows for employees to seamlessly transition between the two environments without the need for approval first. 

The desire for hybrid working became popular following the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. People had been forced to work from home for nearly two years, with only online video calls for team collaboration. When given the choice, many companies provided employees the opportunity to work remotely and come into the office for a set number of days per week. This 2022 work trend has excelled and is now considered the ‘new normal’. 

Discover how you can incorporate hybrid working into your organisation with the help of our Hub & Flex solution. Ideal for small businesses, Argyll can provide a smaller office for part of your team, with complimentary hot-desking for the rest. It’s the new smart way to work!

 

What is the difference between hybrid working & flexible working?

There is one primary difference between hybrid working and flexible working. 

Hybrid working is where the employee has the flexibility to choose whether they work in the office or in a remote location, such as a coffee shop or at home. This blend in environments can be beneficial to helping stimulate inspiration and productivity. 

Flexible working is influenced more on timing. Instead of a traditional 9-5 work day, the start and finish hours could be adaptable to suit a better work/life balance for the employee.
