according to research among UK staff who divide their working week between
home and the office.
Three-quarters of those who work flexibly found they felt less burnout than
when they spent their whole week in the office.

Hybrid working improves job satisfaction and makes no difference to productivity, research shows. Photograph: J_art/Getty Images Hybrid working makes employees happier, healthier and more productive, according to research among UK staff who divide their working week between home and the office. Three-quarters of those who work flexibly found they felt less burnout than when they spent their whole week in the office. Hybrid working brings a huge range of benefits for employees’ sleep, eating habits, stress levels and overall sense of wellbeing, according to a survey of 1,026 people who work that way.

Large majorities reported feeling less drained (79%), less stressed (78%) and less anxious (72%) as a result of spending part of the week working from home. Meanwhile, 86% said the increase in the amount of free time they had from no longer having to travel to work every day improved their work/life balance and helped them feel they could cope better with the challenges of daily life, the International Workplace Group (IWG) survey found. Hybrid workers cited benefits including:

  • better quality of sleep (68%)
  • more exercise (54%)
  • healthier meal preparation (58%)
  • better health overall (68%) Three-quarters said that going back to working five days a week from a central office would damage their wellbeing. “Little has done more over the years to depress, stress and irritate workers than the daily commute. It separates families, fractures communities, pollutes the environment and wastes vast amounts of time and money,” said Mark Dixon, IWG’s chief executive. The research, by Mortar Research, “shows the substantial health and wellbeing benefits to those working in the hybrid model, with workers using the time saved from commuting less to enjoy an improved quality of life and work/life balance. “Employees are now significantly healthier and happier and feel more in control of their lives.” Crucially, the survey also found that about three in four hybrid workers felt they were more productive (74%) and more motivated (76%) because of splitting their week, while 85% said it had improved their job satisfaction. The findings tally with research published last week in the scientific journal Nature by Nick Bloom , a Stanford University professor of economics and expert in home working. Hybrid working improves job satisfaction, makes no difference to productivity and reduces quitting by staff – especially women, non-managers and those with a long commute – by a third, Bloom found after studying 1,612 staff at a Chinese technology company.
