Hybrid working is a flexible working model that allows employees to combine their work both in and out of the office. With the worldwide office life moving to home during the pandemic process, the flexibility previously rarely offered to employees has turned into the most preferred hybrid working model. Many large companies in the world and Turkey, such as Microsoft, Google, Twitter, Facebook, Koç Holding, and Akbank, switched to working from home during the epidemic period. These companies announced that they would maintain this type of work after the epidemic is over. While companies are redesigning their future with flexible working models, let's look at the hybrid working model for employees and employers.

1- Hybrid working in a nutshell: Working from half-home, half-office.

In a nutshell, the hybrid working model is the business model where you work from half-home, half-office. The risks in the working areas have been reduced in terms of the pandemic with the increase of working from home during the pandemic period to prevent the offices from being too crowded. Convinced of the sustainability of the hybrid working model, employers had the opportunity to observe that their employees could put in the necessary performance at home in this process. This sustainability has also brought up the fact that the most preferred business model can now occur in business life.

2- Difference of hybrid working model from the other models: Flexibility.

The most significant difference between the hybrid working model and other models is flexibility. In this model, the planning of the working time may depend on the person, or it may be realized by the company organizing the days by the departments. It also includes other flexible alternatives such as working in shifts or working from home/office from week to week.

3- The biggest advantage of the hybrid working model: Productivity.

Employees always want to show the best performance in their job. They are motivated to show their difference with their productivity and hear that this is noticed by their employers. Some are more productive when working from home, while others feel more productive when working in the office. The inspiration of the work area, the noise of the working environment, or the individuals accompanying the work environment can also be counted among the factors that affect this productivity. According to the ‘Advantages of the Hybrid Work Model' research conducted on 1,000 employees over the age of 18 in the UK, the report found out that 48% of employees feel productive when working from home, while 58% do not. The most interesting point is that 68% of the study participants who embrace hybrid working stated that they feel productive or very productive. In short, the hybrid working model can be claimed to increase productivity.

4- Emotional benefit in the hybrid work model: Well-being

All citizens of the world are tired, both mentally and spiritually, with the concern and anxiety of protecting the health of the pandemic process. The trick to minimizing this worry and anxiety was to reduce contact and not allow crowded environments to form. According to the ‘Advantages of the Hybrid Work Model' research, a 27% decline in mental well-being was experienced during the pandemic. It was also found that 34% of the employees had a negative impact on their mental health due to the economic shocks and the decrease in their welfare. It was observed that the mental health and well-being of 54% of the employees who divide the days as working from home and working from the office during the pandemic period are at higher levels thanks to the hybrid working model. Briefly, hybrid working models have had a positive impact on employees' well-being and mental health since the pandemic began.
