Hybrid WorkingThe Business Case

Key steps towards introducing hybrid working should include:

•Agreeing an overall strategic position on hybrid working for the organisation and development of a policy and supporting guidance reflecting the strategy.

•Defining hybrid working with regard to the specific organisational context. This might include several different forms of hybrid working even within one organisation, depending on role requirements.

•Engaging people managers throughout the organisation, providing an opportunity to ask questions and raise concerns, as well as the provision of training and development to support successful hybrid working.

•Development of a communication plan to share plans for future hybrid working with all employees, including information on how to request hybrid working.

•Planning for and responding to the organisational implications of hybrid working on matters such as technology, employee wellbeing, inclusion and facilities.

•Supporting effective team building and cohesion in hybrid teams
