Many companies realize the benefits of a hybrid workspace – both financially and via productivity.  Here are a few to consider:

1. Employers can expand their talent pool to those outside their geographic area.  This brings to light more candidates with different backgrounds, cultures, and experiences, which results in new ideas, higher levels of innovation, and greater creativity.
2. Employees are empowered to determine the ideal way to achieve a goal.
3. Without the distractions of others stopping by their office or cubicle, many employees enjoy the quiet time and are more productive.
4. When an employer thrives in a hybrid environment, they can save on commercial building costs.  No longer will each person require a cubicle or office. Those spaces can now be repurposed for additional meeting rooms or work areas when the employee occasionally wants to come into the office.
5. When there are social distancing guidelines, following them is easy.  If someone is more susceptible to illness, they are more likely to feel safer in their home environment.

Many employees realize that they want to remain in a work-from-home situation without the commute and office politics.  When this option is not afforded to them, they can find other companies that offer these benefits.
