Chapter Chapter 5 in Creating Economic Stability Amid Global Uncertainty, 2023, pp 91-112 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Organizations need to rebuild themselves after the Great Confinement, and this chapter aims to analyze and address the effects of work during the lockdown and the characteristics of hybrid work by deconstructing the elements that led to its development and positioning. The background of work-from-home schemes during the COVID-19 crisis is discussed, acknowledging the challenges involved when these schemes were pushed to the limit. We propose to define hybrid work as the combination of work in and outside the office, where space, time, and home intersect thanks to the use of technology. This chapter presents a review and discussion of the human, technological, and organizational levers of the emergent hybrid work schemes as experienced by companies and their employees during the pandemic. Besides the approach to defining the concept, the intended contribution is to put “hybrid work” into practice in organizations and highlight its importance in talent attraction and retention.
