New Delhi: Forward-looking, India's workplace is set to settle into a hybrid default, but with sharper rules. As companies globalise and teams spread across cities and time zones, the next 1-2 years will be less about "mandating days" and more about making office time purposeful.
Employees who treat in-office days as opportunities for collaboration and visibility are likely to see faster career progression, while organizations that decentralize policies to managers will win on both flexibility and performance.
