Frequently asked questions

What are the different hybrid working models?

In the modern age, organizations have adapted to different ways of working. Hybrid working involves working some or all hours across a range of different settings. Here are five different types of hybrid working:

  • Equal split: hybrid working where there is an even split between remote and office-based working, either by team or individual employee.
  • Office-priority: this type of hybrid working incorporates both in-office and remote working but with an emphasis placed on in-office working.
  • Remote-priority: similar to the above, but this model prioritizes remote working, with the minority of days spent in the office.
  • Shift working: employees alternate days they spend in the office. This means you have the potential to downsize as not all staff are in the office at once, and you can organize a certain number to be in each day.
  • Fully flexible: the team chooses how hybrid working is adopted, be it a combination of the above or an entirely new model for the business.

Can wellbeing affect workplace performance?

Wellbeing is one of the major factors that affect the performance of employees. When staff feel happier, more comfortable, and more confident in the workplace, it will create many positive outcomes. A well designed workplace can lead to higher productivity levels, increased creativity, more collaboration, better teamwork, and fewer sick days.

  • It can increase the ROI for real estate
