Hybrid Work Needs a Performance Review

Rather than a method of work, it has become our lifestyle

Hybrid work is here to stay. It has to. For a start, it was here well before COVID-19, with 7 percent of us working from home. However, due to the pandemic and the proliferation of WFH, our workforce has a sweet tooth-like addiction to hybrid work.

Flexible working came into our lives with such force, primarily due to imposed health requirements. Recall the days of social distancing, spacing out desks, diligent hand sanitizing and the six-foot distance in queues for morning coffees.
