These roles offer a more flexible structure to their working patterns, providing them with the autonomy to be the best version of themselves at work and at home – something that, in turn, benefits their employer. We refer to this way of working as “hybrid work”. Support for hybrid work has become a huge trigger to both attract and retain the best talent, increase productivity, and allow organisations to thrive in today’s dynamic world.
