A recent study shows that more than half of women around the world prefer hybrid working model
JOHANNESBURG – As the world celebrated International Women's Day on Tuesday, a majority of women office workers in a recent study by IWG said they felt the shift to hybrid working had increased their productivity and improved their career prospects.
Some of the reasons women have given for preferring the hybrid model is that it reduces the cost of a commute to work and that it has allowed for a better distribution of household and family responsibilities. Close to half of the women said having to move to working five days in the office would cause them to leave their jobs.
The hybrid model of working that emerged since the lockdowns that came with the pandemic, has shown that many office workers are able to be just as productive working from home as they are when they work in the office. This model could also play an important role in addressing the inequalities that many women still experience in the work force by creating an environment that allows for a clearer work-life balance.
