Work goes hybrid

TO say that work life has changed since the Covid-19 pandemic started is perhaps an understatement. Workers who used to spend five days a week in the office have gotten used to working entirely from home, until the recent calls to return to the office on some days, if not fulltime.

Now with community cases rising again, the rule now is that no more than 50 per cent of employees who are able to work from home should be in the office at any one time, down from 75 per cent.

Under such fluid working arrangements, the hybrid office is now seen as the new normal.
