Office-first hybrid working
Organizations implementing this arrangement require employees to work onsite most of the time and allow them one or two days per week or several days per month to work remotely. Remote days can be granted on a case-by-case basis or employees can arrange their schedule, depending on the flexibility of the organizations.
This arrangement is most suitable for organizations that have a combination of both activities needing face-to-face interactions (e.g. meetings and lunches with clients, large team meetings, etc.) and quieter interactions (e.g. preparing presentations, analyzing data, writing reports etc.)
Partly remote hybrid working
This arrangement allows certain teams to work remotely while others are office-bound. For instance, the content and development team can be remote as opposed to the sales team working in person due to client face-to-face interactions.
This arrangement would be best for organizations seeking to expand geographically beyond their physical premises to attract non-local talent or access more dispersed customers.
Flexible hybrid working
Employees working for organizations that adopt a flexible hybrid working truly have the call to work in the office or work from anywhere all the time. Those who come to the office can use any desk available as there is often no designated workspace.
Remote-first hybrid working
Employees clock in via the internet by default and can occasionally get together at the office or coworking spaces for team building, collaboration or training. In this arrangement, the organizations may not even have an office space.
Whether the organizations opt for more office-bound or completely virtual arrangements, the key emphasis here is on the outcomes delivered instead of the location and hours worked.
