Organizations have increasingly tried hybrid work schedules during the past several years. Some have wholly adopted it as an ongoing scheduling option while others wonder about the merits of mixing time spent working at home vs. in the office. With ADP research on hybrid work in mind, here’s what seems to be working and what organizations should watch out for.

It’s been four years since the global pandemic brought widespread use of people working some days in the office and some days at home, and one thing is clear: The hybrid work schedule seems to be working well.

According to ADP research data, hybrid workers are 1.7 times more likely to be engaged than on-site staff and 1.9 times more likely to be engaged than fully remote workers.

But challenges remain. Not all positions are suited to hybrid work, and not all staff members succeed in hybrid environments. With many organizations and employees interested in keeping the hybrid work option, it’s worth taking a look at what’s working, what’s not, and what comes next.
