Employees in a hybrid office layout primarily perform individual tasks at home (or at a remote location) and come into the office for collaborative activities. 6 Employers must persuade hesitant employees of the benefits of in-person work under this arrangement. Companies must also determine how much office space they require for a hybrid workforce and how to schedule office and desk space so that everyone who arrives on a given day has a place to work. 7 A successful Hybrid office layout may necessitate managers to learn new skills to manage on-site effectively and remote workers, build relationships among team members who may rarely or never work together in person, and keep remote workers on an equal footing.
