Hybrid work models combine both remote and in-office work, allowing employees to split their time between home and the office. Many companies, including large organizations like Disney and DocuSign, are now adopting structured hybrid policies, requiring employees to be in the office for a specific number of days each week, typically three to four.

The shift towards structured hybrid work policies is largely influenced by the desire for better collaboration and productivity that in-person work can provide. After three years of fluctuating plans due to the pandemic, businesses are now looking to balance the flexibility that employees have grown accustomed to with the benefits of being physically present in the office.

Some companies are offering incentives to motivate employees to return to the office. For instance, Salesforce has announced that it will donate $10 to a local charity for each employee who comes into the office during a specified period. This approach aims to create a positive impact while encouraging in-person attendance.
