Hybrid Work
A work arrangement that combines time at a shared workplace with time working remotely.
Plain English
People split their work between an office or other shared location and a remote location.
In context
Hybrid work policies usually define where and when in-person presence is expected while teams coordinate communication access and handoffs across locations.
Example
“Our hybrid work schedule has two team days in the office and remote work on the other days.”
