In the past two years or so, we’ve seen dramatic changes to how we work. But now, as we settle into a “new normal”, it’s clear that hybrid working is here to stay.
For many, this more flexible way of working is a welcome shift. Last year, research published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) found that 85% of employees who were working from home wanted a hybrid approach to work in the future. “It provides a level of flexibility and, if implemented well, gives a really strong balance of autonomy and collaboration,” says Lee Chambers, a business psychologist and founder of Essentialise Workplace Wellbeing.
