How to Set a Hybrid Work Schedule That Works for You

Many organizations are beginning to transition back to the office, offering employees the flexibility to balance both in-person and remote work options. But with such flexibility can come confusion. How do you know what in-office days to request?

There are four key factors to consider as you make your own hybrid schedule decisions, while ensuring maximum productivity. First, think about the decisions you make and projects you work on. Being in-person to handle strategic choices and negotiations, as well as large project meetings, may be useful. Second, consider how your team operates. For those on your team who process information face-to-face, you might want to align in-person time with their in-office schedule. Third, choose days that work with your energy trends. If you’re an introvert, for instance, use remote time to recharge between in-office days. Finally, track your motivation trends, and choose in-office days that will give you that extra push to be productive.
