Hybrid Work

What is Hybrid Work?

Hybrid work is a flexible working model where employees are required to work in the office for a specified number of days while they are able to work partly remotely on the remaining days. It is a blend of in-office, remote, and on-the-go workers. It offers employees the freedom to choose to work wherever and however they are most productive.
