Creating effective hybrid work policies: Top tips & template

Hybrid work offers employees the best of both worlds – the flexibility of remote work and the camaraderie of in-office time. But managing a hybrid workforce is not an easy feat, which is why you need to ensure you have the right hybrid work policy.

Often, homeworkers end up working longer hours with fewer career advancement opportunities than their in-office counterparts. Additionally, a lack of a formal hybrid work policy could leave your employees anxious or demotivated. In some cases, it could also create two classes of workers, remote and in-office, with remote employees being treated as “second-class.”

So, once you've established your business is ready for hybrid work, you need to create a strong hybrid working policy that:

  • Is equitable and fair to everyone
  • Provides the right working conditions to all employees
  • Outlines all available hybrid arrangements and requirements
  • Sets clear rules for remote and office work, including working hours, required office presence, and communication channels and tools

We also advise you to use hybrid work software to make desk booking and attendance management easier.

Just as workplace policies or employee handbooks outline dos and don'ts for employees, hybrid working policies should lay down clear criteria and rules around hybrid work and also provide best practices for employees.

Below, you'll find a hybrid work policy template you can grab and use for free, plus our top tips on how to build a sensible flexible policy that works well for you and your employees – but first, let’s clarify what hybrid work actually is.

Defining hybrid work

Hybrid work is a flexible work model that allows employees to divide their work time between the office and their home – or different locations, such as coworking spaces, libraries, or even coffee shops. It recognises that not all tasks require a physical presence in the office, and some can be effectively completed from a distance, especially if you provide your employees with the right communication and project management systems.

By implementing a hybrid work model, you can offer your people the freedom to choose where they work and enable them to strike a better work-life balance. This, in turn, can lead to better job satisfaction and retention – and improved employee well-being.

Your free hybrid workplace policy template

The template below is yours to use; you can simply copy and paste it and tweak it to fit your organisation's needs. ‍

Policy overview

Beginning [Date], [Company] will implement a hybrid work model. All employees are eligible for hybrid work. Schedules must fit within one of the models described below and be cleared by your manager.

  • Slack for team-wide communication, client groups (if requested), quick announcements
  • Google Meet for meetings, presentations, stand-ups
  • Officely for updating your work location (remote or from the office) and booking desks

Prioritise the use of public channels of communication and be respectful of others’ time and show up punctually for meetings.

Commitment to equal opportunities

We’re committed to providing a similar experience to remote and in-office employees. To ensure everyone has equal access to opportunities, managers must:

  • Use public channels to announce new work opportunities and projects
  • Review how often employees are promoted with respect to their work preferences

10 tips for building a successful hybrid and remote work agreement

Below, you’ll find our top tips on how to manage the transition to a hybrid work model – and how to ensure that it works well for you and your team.

1. Determine eligibility for hybrid work

Before you start building your hybrid policy, define the roles for which hybrid work is possible and those for which it is not.

Here are some examples:

  • Roles suitable for hybrid work: Most roles in project management, software development, design, marketing, finance, accounting, and admin
  • Roles that require mostly in-office presence: Front desk and customer-facing roles, field staff managers, facility management staff, any role involving physical work

You might still want to offer employees in the second category some flexibility, for example by providing occasional WFH days. You might even have team members from other departments like marketing or finance cover office-based roles like the front desk from time to time to allow for more equitable access to remote work.

If your team has been working remotely but you'd like to switch to a hybrid work schedule, use an employee return-to-work survey to uncover potential concerns.

Make sure to consider resource utilisation and how exactly you'll manage your office space. One of the best ways to do that is with the help of desk booking software.

2. Define the right hybrid work model and schedule

Hybrid work isn’t one-size-fits-all. 

Your hybrid work model might be remote-first, where employees are allowed to work remotely most of the time, or lean toward more in-office presence.

Because the term "hybrid" can mean so many things, outline the number of remote workdays allowed in your office and the advantages for each preference. For example:

  • Remote 1-2 days per week: Because these employees are in the office more frequently, consider offering them a dedicated office or desk and parking space.
  • Remote 3-5 days per week: Employees might have to surrender dedicated office desks but will be provided a hot desk or common area to work in the office. They may be eligible for visitor parking.
  • Fully remote: These employees don’t have dedicated workspaces and may be eligible for visitor parking. They might visit the office on occasion for a few hours or a day and reserve a hot desk when they do. 

Desk booking software like Officely can make it easy to manage different schedules and give everyone the visibility they need to organise their work – and come to the office when others are there.

If you offer fully remote roles, specify if these roles are based out of specific countries, states, or cities. If you need remote employees to come to the office occasionally for client meetings and events, you might prefer to hire in your city or region.

For employees choosing hybrid work arrangements, specify if they'll set their own flexible schedule or if schedules will be manager-led. Employee-led hybrid work schedules usually provide better results, because employees know best where and how they work best.

Whatever style you choose, define when you'd expect team members to be available for work-related communication. Certain roles like customer support might need to work specific hours, even remotely.

3. Review employee compensation

Be clear about how an employee’s location and work preference (in-office, remote, hybrid) affect their compensation and benefits, so employees can weigh the pros and cons of their choice.  

For example, if you have 100% remote positions with the option to relocate to another city or country, you might consider adjusting employee salaries to the cost of living – or decide against it. Or you could provide in-office or hybrid workers with a commute allowance.

Remote-first company Buffer has shared their salary calculator publicly, and you might want to use a cost of living calculator when defining salary ranges. However, you need to make sure you're not penalizing employees who opt for a hybrid model or those who choose to work remotely.

4. Expand wellness and health benefits

Hybrid work offers ample flexibility, but it also has a few downsides. Employees who often work remotely might feel more isolated and some might need additional support to avoid burnout.

Here are some ways to safeguard employee health and mental wellbeing in remote and flexible working arrangements:

  • Offer virtual health consultations on platforms like Teladoc and Wellthy and provide access to mental health services like Talkspace and Lyra Health
  • Provide a few hours of free mental health counseling in addition to virtual consulting, if they’re not part of your Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs)
  • Normalise taking time off not just for vacation but also for mental health and to care for family
  • Offer stipends for exclusive in-office perks like childcare and gyms
  • Encourage managers to make video optional during some meetings and reduce the number of mandatory calls per week

Make sure you build a health benefits scheme that's beneficial to hybrid workers

5. Make sure you know the legal requirements for hybrid work

Ask your legal counsel or HR department about all local and national laws you should comply with in relation to hybrid work. Explain how you’ll fulfill legal requirements in your flexible work policy.

Here are some questions to get you started:

  • Where is your business legally allowed to operate? This might affect the locations from which employees can work remotely.
  • Do you need to reimburse employees for home office equipment? In states like California, laws require employers to reimburse employees for office equipment like computers, laptops, and desks. 
  • Do you need to reimburse employees for office travel? While daily commutes are generally not reimbursable, for employees who work primarily from home, you might need to reimburse office travel.
  • Do you need to pay overtime? Federal US laws require employers to pay overtime if employees work for more than 40 hours in a week, or in some states, more than 8 hours a day. If such laws apply in your country or state, you’ll need to define how you'll track time and whether employees require manager approval to work extra hours.

6. Implement the right tech to uphold your new policy

The success of your hybrid work policy depends on the tools you use. Hybrid work software like Officely makes desk booking simple – and gives your employees and admin staff visibility into office attendance, making it easier to manage hybrid schedules and resources effectively.

With Officely, employees can easily reserve desks, see who’s in the office, and plan their workdays for better collaboration or focused work, all directly within Slack or Microsoft Teams. 

Other tools you should consider include: 

  • Project management platforms like Asana or ClickUp
  • Video conferencing software like Zoom, MS Teams, or Google Meet
  • Knowledge sharing platforms like Confluence or Notion

7. Set up information security measures for hybrid work

In your office, you're in control of all security measures like firewalls, virtual private networks (VPNs), on-premise servers, data centres, antivirus software, and authorised company equipment. And, while you can replicate most of these measures in a remote setting, your employees might need extra guidance to comply with data security measures.

When drafting your hybrid workplace policy, outline best practices for employees to keep your data safe, like:

  • Set strong passwords and update them regularly
  • Install security and software updates on a regular basis
  • Avoid downloading suspicious, illegal, or unauthorised software
  • Block suspicious websites and report any phishing attempts
  • Use only work devices for work, and not their personal computers or smartphones
  • Report any loss of equipment or information immediately
  • Use a VPN as needed

8. Create clear communication guidelines

Clear guidelines help eliminate communication silos. For hybrid teams, defaulting to remote-first online communication works best because it's equally accessible to in-office and remote employees.

Setting up clear communication requirements and channels is essential for the success of your hybrid policy

In your hybrid workplace policy, mention:

  • Channels or tools for meetings, quick messages, updates, stand-ups, announcements, and reports
  • Expected response time for internal emails, client emails, and Slack messages
  • Internal knowledge base tools for looking up company-related information, processes, and policies
  • Who to get in touch with for common issues

9. Track employee performance

In a traditional work environment, time spent in the office was often used as one of the measures of performance and engagement, although we could probably all agree that it's a horribly inaccurate one. In a hybrid workplace, the need for setting clear key performance indicators (KPIs) is even more obvious.

Define what success looks like for different roles. For instance, “Success as a sales manager means contacting X leads per month, a X% of closed deals, and $XX in revenue.”

You can also set goals for employee attendance specially for roles that benefit from in-person collaboration, and use dedicated software like Officely to measure that.

10. Foster equity between employees working from home or in the office

Proximity bias is one of the most common challenges of hybrid work, or the tendency to favour in-office employees. Team members working from home might miss out on important work-related talks and decisions if they happen in ad hoc meetings or in the hallway.

To provide equal opportunities to all employees, irrespective of the specific hybrid or remote work arrangement they opt for, you might decide to:

  • Measure speed of promotion by employees’ work preference to avoid bias
  • Announce new work opportunities and challenges using online channels like Slack or email instead of in-person meetings
  • Hold virtual ask-me-anything sessions with leadership where employees can voice concerns and ask questions
  • Run anonymous employee surveys to gauge employee sentiments
  • Make hybrid meetings the norm, so all employees can participate regardless of their location

The benefits of hybrid work

Hybrid work is a smart way to balance flexibility with productivity. Here’s how embracing a hybrid model can benefit your team and your business.

Improved work-life balance

By giving employees the freedom to split their time between home and the office, you help them to better manage their personal responsibilities and commitments while staying productive. 

Additionally, you enable them to design their own work environment based on their preferences and needs – and still share time with others in the office whenever they need to work together on specific projects. 

This balance can lead to happier, healthier, and more engaged team members.

Better collaboration and focus

Hybrid work allows employees to work together in person when it matters most and focus on deep work at home or in dedicated office areas without distractions. Finding the right balance between collaboration and individual work will depend on each person and role, but giving the possibility to switch between the two will help improve teamwork and individual productivity.

Cost savings for everyone

Hybrid work enables businesses to downsize office space strategically and therefore reduce its associated costs (rent, utilities, and equipment), while employees save time and money on commuting and office lunches. 

Plus, it can also help reduce the environmental impact of your company.

Steps to implement a hybrid work policy

Now that you have a policy template at your disposal and know what benefits hybrid work can offer, let’s see exactly how you can shift to this model, step by step. 

1. Assess your company's needs

Before switching to hybrid work and flexible work hours, take the time to assess your company's needs and challenges. 

Consider factors like job roles, team dynamics, and client expectations. Identify potential roadblocks and develop strategies to address them.

2. Draft the policy

Once you have a clear understanding of your company's needs, it's time to draft your hybrid policy. You can use the template above as your starting point and refine it as necessary. 

Involve HR, managers, and employees in the policy development process and make sure it aligns with both the company’s needs and your team’s preferences. 

Make sure the policy is comprehensive and easy to understand. Clearly define eligibility criteria, expectations, and guidelines for remote and hybrid work. Address issues like scheduling, time tracking, and performance evaluation.

3. Share the policy with employees

Once the policy is ready, share it with everyone. Be transparent and address any concerns or questions others may have. Provide training and resources to ensure that employees can navigate the hybrid work environment easily. 

Regularly review and update the policy based on feedback and your team’s needs.

Overcoming challenges in hybrid work arrangements

Now, let’s look into some of the problems you might face and see how you can tackle them. 

Maintaining team cohesion

One of the biggest challenges of hybrid work is maintaining team cohesion and collaboration and reducing silos. 

Encourage regular team meetings, both in-person and virtually, to build strong relationships. Use collaboration tools to simplify knowledge sharing and manage projects efficiently. 

Ensuring accountability and productivity

Remote and hybrid work may bring up concerns about accountability and productivity – but empowering employees to take ownership of their work usually yields much better results than micromanaging them.

Define clear expectations, goals, and KPIs for each role, along with metrics to measure performance. Give regular feedback and celebrate wins to keep employees motivated and engaged, and ensure they know what to do whenever they face challenges that might impact their work. 

Addressing technical issues

Not all remote or hybrid employees will be sufficiently tech-savvy to tackle all technical issues on their own, so ensure that employees have access to IT support when needed. 

To maintain airtight security for your data and systems, you might also consider setting up regular maintenance checks for all company-provided equipment. Encourage employees to use secure internet connections and back up their work regularly.

Are you tired of feeling like you're not accomplishing enough during your workday? Do you find yourself procrastinating or getting distracted easily? It's time to boost your productivity and efficiency in the office! In this article, we'll explore ten strategies that will help you get more done in less time. So grab your coffee and get ready to supercharge your workday!

Understanding the Importance of Productivity and Efficiency in the Workplace

Before we dive into the strategies, let's take a moment to understand why productivity and efficiency are crucial in the workplace. Productivity is all about maximizing output and getting things done effectively. It goes beyond simply completing tasks; it's about achieving goals and making a meaningful impact. When you are productive, you are able to accomplish more in less time, allowing you to take on new challenges and opportunities.

Efficiency, on the other hand, focuses on achieving results with minimal wasted effort or resources. It's about finding the most effective and streamlined way to complete tasks. By eliminating unnecessary steps and optimizing your workflow, you can save time and energy, enabling you to devote more attention to important tasks that require your expertise.

When both productivity and efficiency go hand in hand, you become a productivity powerhouse, delivering exceptional results in no time. You are able to work smarter, not harder, and make the most of your capabilities.

Defining Productivity and Efficiency

In simple terms, productivity is the rate at which you complete tasks or projects. It's about working smarter, not harder. It's not just about being busy; it's about accomplishing meaningful work. Productivity is not measured by the number of hours you put in, but by the quality and quantity of output you produce.

Efficiency, on the other hand, is all about optimizing your workflow and eliminating time-wasting activities. It's about finding ways to do things faster, better, and with fewer resources. Efficiency is about being resourceful and making the most of what you have. It involves identifying bottlenecks and inefficiencies in your processes and finding solutions to overcome them.

By combining these two elements, you can achieve remarkable results in your job. You can accomplish more in less time, allowing you to take on new projects and responsibilities. You can also improve the quality of your work, as you have more time and energy to devote to each task.

The Impact of Productivity and Efficiency on Business Success

Imagine a workplace where tasks are completed effortlessly, deadlines are met, and employees feel inspired and accomplished. That's the power of productivity and efficiency! When businesses prioritize these factors, they experience greater profitability, customer satisfaction, and employee engagement.

Productivity and efficiency are essential for business success. When employees are productive, they are able to deliver high-quality work consistently. This leads to increased customer satisfaction, as customers receive products or services that meet or exceed their expectations. Satisfied customers are more likely to become repeat customers and recommend the business to others, resulting in increased revenue and growth.

Efficiency also plays a crucial role in business success. When processes are streamlined and optimized, businesses can save time, money, and resources. This allows them to operate more competitively in the market and invest in innovation and growth. Efficient businesses are able to adapt quickly to changing market conditions and stay ahead of the competition.

Furthermore, productivity and efficiency have a positive impact on employee engagement and satisfaction. When employees are able to work efficiently and see the results of their efforts, they feel a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment. This leads to higher job satisfaction and motivation, resulting in lower turnover rates and higher levels of employee loyalty and commitment.

So, if you want to be an asset to your organization and climb the career ladder, it's time to boost your productivity and efficiency. By focusing on these factors, you can not only excel in your current role but also open doors to new opportunities and advancement.

The Role of Office Environment in Productivity

Your office environment plays a vital role in your ability to stay focused and productive throughout the day. Let's explore two key aspects that can significantly impact your efficiency.

Importance of a Well-Designed Workspace

A cluttered workspace equals a cluttered mind. Keeping your workspace organized and visually appealing can work wonders for your productivity. Invest in storage solutions, declutter regularly, and decorate your workspace with items that inspire you. Remember, a clean and well-organized environment can help you stay focused and be more productive.

Imagine walking into an office with a desk covered in piles of paper, scattered stationery, and random knick-knacks. The sight alone can make you feel overwhelmed and hinder your ability to concentrate. On the other hand, picture a workspace with neatly labeled folders, a minimalist desk setup, and a few strategically placed plants or motivational quotes on the walls. This organized and aesthetically pleasing environment can have a positive impact on your mood, motivation, and overall productivity.

Moreover, a well-designed workspace goes beyond just appearances. It also includes ergonomics and functionality. Invest in a comfortable chair that supports good posture and a desk at the right height for your body. Consider adding adjustable monitor stands or keyboard trays to optimize your setup and reduce the risk of developing musculoskeletal issues.

The Effect of Noise Levels on Efficiency

Noise pollution in the office can be a silent productivity killer. Excessive noise can distract you, reduce your concentration levels, and even increase stress. Consider using noise-canceling headphones or finding a quiet corner in the office to help you stay focused. Remember, a quiet office is a productive office!

Imagine trying to complete an important report while your colleagues engage in loud conversations, phones ring incessantly, and printers hum in the background. The constant barrage of noise can make it challenging to concentrate, leading to frequent interruptions and errors in your work. Research has shown that noise distractions can decrease productivity and increase the time it takes to complete tasks.

However, not all noise is detrimental. Some individuals find a certain level of background noise, such as soft instrumental music or ambient sounds, to be beneficial for their concentration. It's essential to find what works best for you. Experiment with different noise management techniques and find a balance that helps you maintain focus without feeling isolated.

Creating a quiet office environment may involve implementing policies that encourage respectful noise levels, such as designated quiet zones or the use of soundproofing materials. Additionally, providing employees with noise-canceling headphones can be an effective solution for those who need to concentrate on complex tasks or have a sensitivity to noise.

Remember, the impact of office noise on productivity is not limited to auditory distractions alone. Visual distractions, such as open office layouts without dividers or excessive movement in the workspace, can also disrupt focus and hinder productivity. Consider implementing visual barriers or rearranging furniture to create a more peaceful and conducive work environment.

Strategy 1: Implementing Time Management Techniques

Time management is the key to unlocking productivity and efficiency. By mastering the art of managing your time effectively, you can accomplish more in less time. Let's explore two popular time management techniques.

The Pomodoro Technique

This technique involves breaking your work into 25-minute intervals called "Pomodoros." After each Pomodoro, take a short break. This method helps you maintain focus and prevents burnout. Set a timer, work hard for 25 minutes, and then reward yourself with a well-deserved break.

During each Pomodoro, it is important to eliminate distractions and fully commit to the task at hand. By creating a sense of urgency and time constraint, the Pomodoro Technique motivates you to work efficiently and make the most of each focused session. This technique also allows for better time estimation, as you become more aware of how long certain tasks take to complete.

Additionally, the Pomodoro Technique promotes work-life balance by encouraging regular breaks. These breaks help rejuvenate your mind and prevent mental fatigue, resulting in increased productivity throughout the day. By incorporating this technique into your daily routine, you can optimize your time and achieve better work-life integration.

Time Blocking Method

Time blocking is all about creating a schedule and dedicating specific blocks of time to different tasks or projects. By planning your day in advance, you'll have a clear roadmap, ensuring that you have sufficient time allocated to each task. This method helps you stay organized and eliminates the stress of constantly jumping from one task to another.

When implementing the time blocking method, it is crucial to prioritize tasks based on their importance and urgency. By allocating dedicated time blocks for high-priority tasks, you ensure that they receive the attention they deserve. This method also allows you to allocate time for unexpected interruptions or emergencies, providing flexibility within your schedule.

Furthermore, the time blocking method promotes focus and concentration by reducing multitasking. By dedicating specific time blocks to individual tasks or projects, you can fully immerse yourself in the work at hand, without the distractions of other pending tasks. This focused approach leads to higher quality output and a greater sense of accomplishment.

Moreover, the time blocking method helps you gain a better understanding of your time usage patterns. By analyzing how you spend your time during each block, you can identify areas for improvement and make adjustments to optimize your productivity. This self-awareness allows you to make informed decisions about how to allocate your time effectively.

In conclusion, implementing time management techniques such as the Pomodoro Technique and the Time Blocking Method can significantly enhance your productivity and efficiency. By incorporating these techniques into your daily routine, you can make the most of your time, achieve your goals, and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Strategy 2: Encouraging Regular Breaks

Did you know that taking breaks can actually enhance your productivity? Breaks are essential for recharging your brain and maintaining focus throughout the day. Let's dive deeper into the science behind breaks and how you can make the most of them.

The Science Behind Breaks and Productivity

Research shows that taking regular breaks improves creativity, focus, and overall productivity. Our brains need time to rest and recharge to perform at their best. So, instead of feeling guilty about taking breaks, embrace them and see the positive impact they have on your work.

Ideal Break Length and Frequency

While the ideal break length and frequency can vary depending on individual preferences, a common rule of thumb is to take a short break of 5-10 minutes every hour. Use this time to stretch, grab a healthy snack, or take a walk. Longer breaks of 15-30 minutes after a couple of hours can also be beneficial to give your mind a breather.

Strategy 3: Promoting Healthy Work-Life Balance

Working long hours may seem like a badge of honor, but it can actually hinder your productivity and efficiency. Achieving a healthy work-life balance is essential for overall well-being and job performance. Let's explore the impact of overworking and some tips to maintain a healthy work-life balance.

The Impact of Overworking on Efficiency

Overworking often leads to burnout, decreased productivity, and even health issues. When you're constantly pushing yourself beyond your limits, the quality of your work suffers, and you become more prone to making mistakes. It's crucial to take breaks, set boundaries, and prioritize self-care to achieve optimal performance.

Tips for Maintaining a Healthy Work-Life Balance

Here are a few tips to help you achieve a healthier work-life balance:

  1. Set clear boundaries and communicate them with your colleagues.
  2. Make time for activities and hobbies that make you happy.
  3. Prioritize self-care, including exercise, healthy eating, and sufficient sleep.
  4. Delegate tasks when necessary and avoid taking on more than you can handle.

By implementing these strategies, you'll not only boost your productivity and efficiency but also improve your overall well-being.

So, there you have it - ten office strategies to increase productivity and efficiency. Remember, it's all about finding what works best for you. Experiment with different techniques, be open to change, and strive for continuous improvement. Become the productivity superstar you were meant to be!
