Hybrid work is an organisational model that has become normalised, particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It represents a significant evolution of traditional working practices and is characterised by a combination of working in the office and remote work, generally from the employee's home.
Hybrid work offers employees valuable flexibility. It allows them to choose when and where they work based on their needs, their team and their company. Working from home allows them to be in a personal environment that is conducive to concentration and better productivity. Conversely, they can return to their workplace the very next day to collaborate with their colleagues.
This approach recognises that some tasks can be accomplished effectively remotely, while others require a physical presence in the office. Employees can thus reconcile their professional and personal lives in a more balanced way.
This is why 53% of French employees who practice hybrid work are satisfied with this organisation, according to the Mobility and Hybrid Work Styles study by JLL.

Companies adopting hybrid work also benefit from several advantages. They can reduce their office-related costs, given that employees visit the site less regularly. With hybrid, the employer maintains a strong corporate culture, while promoting in-person collaboration when necessary.
The implementation of these new ways of working also improves the employee experience with the various advantages mentioned above. In addition, these hybrid models can expand the talent pool of companies by recruiting remote workers.
However, companies and managers must pay attention to the risks of isolation. Hybrid work, especially remote work, can lead to risks for the mental health of employees (feeling of isolation, burn-out, depression), with some being led to practice working from home more often than others. Hence the need to ensure regular and automated monitoring.
Hybrid work represents a major cultural shift in the world of work. It forces organisations to rethink how they operate and adopt new practices to take advantage of this hybrid model. However, hybrid also offers the opportunity to create more flexible work environments, more focused on results and more adapted to the needs of workers.
The hybrid way of working requires effective resource and communication management. Companies must provide employees with the tools they need to do their jobs remotely, as well as equipped workspaces in the office. Communication also becomes essential to maintain team cohesion and ensure that all employees remain informed and connected.
Hybrid work has become an essential model for many French companies and around the world. Mixing work in the office and work at home, it reflects a reality where flexibility, mental health and productivity are at the centre of concerns. This constantly evolving model is shaping the future of work by responding to the new needs of employees and companies.
