For many employees and companies, hybrid work is here to stay. It provides the kind of flexibility that people have experienced working remotely during the pandemic, while allowing employees to feel connected to their co-workers and experience the sense of belonging that comes from sharing physical office space.

In May 2022, 43% of Mexican workers were working in a hybrid format, according to a survey conducted by Indeed. This same survey also revealed that 40% of respondents mentioned that their companies used tools to monitor work during the home office.

But while hybrid working promises a seemingly endless range of ways to work, there's also a seemingly endless number of ways leaders can get it wrong.

Careful planning and execution are essential: “A common mistake is to think of hybrid work in the same way as traditional or fully remote work.

Hybrid work requires rethinking strategies to ensure that the entire team (face-to-face and remote) is fully integrated and under the same KPIs and policies,” says Madalina Secareanu, Indeed Corporate Communications Senior Manager for LATAM.

Because the hybrid model does not fit every company, or every industry, companies should consider the importance of defining, refining, and sharing information about the company's approach to hybrid working, a phenomenon that has taken off Worldwide.

Among the main recommendations are: Involve the entire team, recruit regardless of location, promote a sense of common purpose, evaluate results and not visibility, and allow different types of work to be carried out in different places.

“As we move into a hybrid world, we must approach work in an intentional, coordinated and intelligent way, and avoid improvisation. If we achieve this, there will be gains in both worker well-being and employee productivity." Madalina concludes.
