Why Save Hybrid
The pandemic forced us to enhance our ability to work remotely and led to the widespread use of hybrid work models. These investments in technology and ways of working have unlocked benefits for employees but also challenges for employers. With planning and intentionality hybrid work can work, and the benefits are too important to ignore.

Recruiting and Retention
Eliminating hybrid work or curtailing it increases attrition and makes it more difficult to attract and hire top candidates. A Zippia study found 83% of U.S. employees preferred hybrid and in a FlexOS research study, 66% of associates indicated they would quit or consider quitting with a mandate to return to the office full-time.
