Whitepaper: The Future of work is hybrid
Hybrid Working is a flexible way of working, in which employees can choose where and how they prefer to work. At the office, at home, or any other location. The idea arose from the desire of employees to have flexibility in their working days / hours, to gain a better work-life balance. And the Covid-19 pandemic accelerated this process. It is important that organisations understand the different needs and wishes people have when working hybrid. That way, the most effective working environment can be created. A flexible environment where they can collaborate, be productive, and feel appreciated and involved.

Flexibility: Employee Types & Utilising Space
Every organisation has different types of employees who require different environments to work in. Flexibility is therefore essential to working hybrid. It starts with understanding the types of workers your company has. If you have established this, then you can shape your office environment in such a way that it facilitates everybody.
Flexible Working
Office workers, part-timers, sales personnel, installation teams… Every organisation has a variety of employees. Some like to work at the office daily. Others are rarely at the office because they are on the road a lot, meeting customers. Or they just prefer to work from home a few days per week. Then there are also employees who mostly work in project teams who need a good and functional meeting room, or creative brainstorming area. The art of creating an efficient Hybrid Working environment is to be as flexible as possible. Create an array of different and adaptable spaces at your office to ensure that every worker is provided with what they need. Examples can be modular furniture, room dividers, mobile desks, soundproof work pods, but also (video) conferencing tools, wireless presenting solutions or desk booking and room booking systems.

The Impact of Hybrid Working on the Workforce
With Hybrid Working comes flexibility. When designing your personal workday/workweek, people often feel their private,- and work life is much better balanced. This positively influences productivity and involvement between employees. Flexibility gives the employer a positive and pleasant character that moves along with modern developments. It also has influence on the HR-department of an organisation. By providing the flexibility of working from home, people call in sick less.
A Hybrid Office environment furthermore influences potential employees and talent. People are attracted to a modern, flexible and pleasant environment and with Hybrid Working this is ensured. Attracting new talent becomes easier as they can work from home or from other locations. This means less commute time and stress, contributing to a positive employee workplace experience.
