Hybrid work models have rapidly become the most common work arrangement for many knowledge workers, affording them with improved work–life balance and greater levels of job satisfaction, but little research has been conducted to identify the different hybrid work models that are emerging, and the appropriate supports needed to drive sustainable improvement.

It discusses the development of a model researchers call – the 5 pillars for successful hybrid work – which highlights the 5 key areas organisations must focus on if they wish to nurture high performing hybrid teams of their own.
