Increased productivity, job satisfaction with less distractions hybrid working has its benefits.

But do those benefits come at a cost? Whilst the benefits of hybrid working are clear hybrid working has created a few challenges.

• Not being able to collaborate and communicate with colleagues physically.

• Working from home can cause feelings of isolation.

• Difficult to maintain company culture.

• Potential for inequality amongst fellow employees.

• Blurred boundaries between work and personal life.
