The Impact of Hybrid Work Policies on Employee Productivity and Satisfaction

Abstract

Hybrid work policies have become an increasingly common phenomenon in the modern world of work, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. This article aims to analyze the impact of hybrid work policies on employee productivity and satisfaction through a qualitative approach with a literature study method. This study examines the scientific literature, case study reports, and policy documents related to hybrid work to understand how these work models affect employee outcomes and well-being. The results of the study show that hybrid work provides significant benefits, including greater flexibility, better work-life balance, and increased productivity in several work contexts. However, these policies also present challenges, such as communication difficulties, social isolation, and technological gaps. Factors such as organizational culture, management support, and digital infrastructure play a crucial role in determining the success of hybrid work implementation. This article highlights that the success of a hybrid work policy is highly dependent on an organization's ability to create a supportive work environment, both physically and virtually. Additionally, strategies to increase employee engagement, reduce the risk of burnout, and promote effective collaboration need to be implemented holistically. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of a balanced approach in designing and managing hybrid work policies to achieve optimal productivity and higher employee satisfaction.
