Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses around the world were stuck with the work-from-home set up. Before then, not many businesses open job offers that are remote. However, since everyone is transiting to the new normal, businesses are more open to having both remote and hybrid work set up. Below are further explanations for their differences to serve as your further guide for your job hunting journey.
REMOTE WORK
Remote work is where employees practice working anywhere but the office. You can work from home, a shared space, coffee shops, or in your own personal offices as long as you complete your list of tasks! Businesses can hire employees who are from abroad without them leaving their own country. The work arrangements of this set up depends on the agreement between you and your business. However, remote work can be temporary or permanent, occasional, part-time or full-time. It also requires you to use your own internet connection and your own equipment. This set-up is suitable for employees who are more productive if they are not in the office environment. This setup is advantageous for the business if ever they are limited with office workspaces. Take note that not all industries can work with this kind of set-up.
HYBRID WORK
Hybrid is a more flexible set up combining the work from home set up and working face to face in an office environment. This is suitable for employees who are on-the-go and for those who like to be flexible in balancing work and personal life. This set-up is heavy on attendance and for those who are more productive in the office environment. The business has to oversee employees from time to time and employees can interact with other employees which builds more connections and community in the office. Most businesses nowadays practice this setup to help employees adjust to the new normal and back to face to face interaction.
