Hybrid work skills 2021
1. Self-Management Skills
- Employers need to establish the hybrid working model which works best for individual staff.
- Bearing in mind the full range of ‘family’ / personal life differences in individual employee preferences.
- Then, once preferences are discussed are recognised, the employer needs to support these hybrid working options.
- Generally speaking, younger staff often value the social interaction of the office.

2. Time Management Skills
- Learning how to manage your time is an important skill when you’re working from home.
- In a hybrid environment, employees and managers need to set priorities hour by hour, day by day, and week by week, and structure their time to address the most important tasks.
- Technology fatigue can happen in a virtual office, and an employee’s ability to set aside time for self care is more important in a hybrid environment.

3. Adaptability
- Individual hybrid workers must assess what they ‘need’ from the times they are in their office.
- Plus, what type of projects work best for them when working remotely.
- Naturally, one would expect that hybrid workers’ office days, or half-days, would focus on colleague engagement activities. Many hybrid working offices are now offering such common spaces.
- There needs to be flexibility so that hybrid workers can move back and forth between virtual remote and physical environments.
