Optimizing the Hybrid Work Model: Hybrid Places and Technologies

The past couple of years have been transformational for many of us, in terms of how we think about work, and where and when we conduct our work tasks.

The term workplace flexibility, or workflex, refers to employees having some level of choice or flexibility over where and when they conduct their work tasks. Hybrid work is a subset of workplace flexibility, which focusses on the ‘where’ component, and employees having some level of flexibility over the location where they conduct their work tasks.

As we now learn to live and work with Covid, it is clear that many of us will follow some sort of hybrid work arrangement in the future - dividing our time between the office and other remote work locations.

This course examines the different locations of work, and some of the technologies we use that make hybrid work possible - we discuss what offices might look like in the future, how we can maximize the work from home experience, and think about some other possible destinations where hybrid workers might find themselves working in the future.
