The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift towards remote and hybrid work models. The pandemic forced organizations to experiment with remote working almost overnight, and many of them had already been exploring hybrid working models in the pre-pandemic era. A hybrid workforce is characterized by the flexibility and choice of where and when work is done, with employees distributed across different locations, including traditional office and factory spaces, remote locations such as employees' living spaces, and shared apartments. This shift towards remote and hybrid work models has significant implications for businesses, including changes in employee needs and behaviors, and the need for change management programs to convince and motivate employees to make the desired changes.
