As workplaces start to reopen, NASSCOM believes that the best solution to adopt now is the hybrid-work model. The keyway to prepare for the future is what the hybrid work model offers, i.e., a combination of both remote work and return to office.

What is a Hybrid-Work Model?

“A hybrid model is the ability for employees to combine working from home with working from an office or another location. In a hybrid workplace model, employees can work in different spaces, including corporate offices, coworking spaces, public spaces and from home.”

 

Benefits of hybrid-working model:

  1. It offers flexibility and increases productivity
  2. It improves the work-life balance
  3. It enables seamless collaboration with the use of technology
  4. It reduces overhead cost and allows less commuting
  5. It creates more possibilities for continuous learning
  6. It makes employees feel more trusted and increases the happiness quotient

 

Technologies that power the future of work:

  1. Hybrid Intelligence: In the future of work, the work will be done with the use of hybrid intelligence that brings together human and artificial intelligence, augmented with each other. AI will help humans and machines to work together and leverage their strengths.
  2. Hybrid Cloud Computing: The pandemic accelerated the adoption of cloud computing with multi-cloud implementations. A hybrid cloud is a combination of multiple cloud infrastructures where a public cloud is combined either with a private cloud or on-premises infra. This empowers workplaces to blend different platforms and ensures storage diversification.
  3. Big Data: Big data and data analytics offers potential to provide information in real-time, contributes to more competent business planning, improves decision making and helps in providing strategies for enhanced customer experience for the future of work.
  4. Future of IoT: IoT and digitalization enables workplaces to make rapid changes in the way of working that includes creating new infrastructures, practices, facilities and how employees would work. IoT will enable the future of work to be digital, connected and data driven with focus on efficiency and work outcomes.

 

Upskilling and reskilling is the priority for the future of work

The hybrid work culture has transformed talent strategies, employee experiences and the overall management styles. Reskilling and upskilling have become a priority now and creating a culture of continuous learning has become a key responsibility of all the workplaces.

In an interview, Debjani Ghosh, president of NASSCOM, has talked about the hybrid work model as the future of work. She said, “We’re going to move towards a hybrid model for sure. None of the large companies are going to go back 100% on campus, nor are we going to see 100% remote working. Companies should be given the right to decide what works for them, such as the 60-40, 70-30, 30-70 ratio. Talent development should become a national priority for the country as the new age asks for new age digital skills.”

 

Final Thoughts

The hybrid work model has the potential to take any organization to a new level of productivity and continue to remain safe in view of the pandemic. The rapid shift to digital technologies will help in taking the edge in the new, hybrid world as ‘the future of work’.
