There are negatives and positives to hybrid work but here's 10 companies implementing it
COVID has proven that employees can be productive while working remotely and many businesses are choosing to continue that way.
The biggest benefit of remote work is opening your business up to a wider talent pool. It also reduces your operating costs and cuts down employee absenteeism.
For managers, tracking work progress and resolving conflict and employees feeling disengaged can be trickier to deal with
