The hybrid office

A hybrid office is ideal for anyone who wants a flexible way of working where you divide your time between working remotely and working in the office. The physical workplace is mainly used for in-person meetings and collaboration, while remote work is ideal for focused tasks and offers a better work-life balance. To help you navigate this new way of working, we have put together a starter kit with everything from an interview with a HR expert and articles about the changing work environment, to guides, templates and policies that you can pick from freely and adapt to your business in order to implement a hybrid office successfully.

From an HR perspective

We asked an HR expert about what it is like to work in a hybrid office. See Else-Marie's answers and tips on some of the most important questions.

Four interior design tips to take with you
1.

The majority of today's meetings are held in small groups and the need for large meeting rooms and conference rooms has decreased. Think about whether you can outfit the office with smaller meeting rooms where smaller groups can sit together and work.

2.

Socialising is a driving force that draws people to the office, so look over the workplace - what about creating a pleasant breakout area where socialising becomes more relaxed and accepted?

3.

Review all the work areas in the office. Do you need permanent allocated workstations or should you invest in an office where both permanent desk spaces and common areas can be used? Remember that innovation and creativity are stimulated with spontaneous and informal meetings that can be held in common areas.

4.

Dividing the office into zones can create a better work environment. Zones with different areas of focus and use enable collaboration between colleagues as well as individual work. Think about the rules that will apply to the different zones to increase efficiency and well-being as well as how to book them if necessary.
