Indian employees are unwilling to go back to the office full-time as they are relishing the hybrid work model, which became a necessity in the last two years, due to the pandemic. According to HP’s global study, Indian employees strongly favor a hybrid work model as they believe it improves their productivity and gives them a much-needed work-life balance. Employers too have something to cheer about as Indian employees indicate a higher probability of staying in their current job if given a hybrid work option. The survey had a total of over 10,000 respondents, including over 1000 from India, across the ages of 18-50+ years. The participants worked in various industries full-time or part-time or were business owners or self-employed. **Hybrid Work leads to better work-life balance** The hybrid model is seen to amplify employees’ chance to prioritize personal well-being. Most of the responders prefer working from the office for two-three days a week. Findings reveal that everyday individuals working in India believe in a higher retention capacity, owing to the hybrid model. **Hybrid Working allows increased productivity along with work efficacy** According to the survey, the hybrid model increases productivity, makes employees focus better, and provides more flexibility to get the work done. 47% of respondents believe that home productivity with office visibility gives them a better chance of promotion and gives them more opportunities to demonstrate their abilities and build relationships with their team members. **Technological tools are crucial for a successful hybrid work environment** Technology should act as an enabler for firms to empower their employees fully for hybrid work. 51% of respondents agree that laptops help them carry out tasks more productively and 43% agree that they have a more enhanced collaborative process through laptops. **Way forward for hybrid work** The survey further reveals that there is still much work to be done in ensuring a truly equitable and collaborative future of work. The concept of Technology Shame is one that often hinders acceptance (of hybrid work?) and a holistic work approach. In India, 30% of the respondents believe that internet connection is one of the major disruptions. To further improve productivity, 13% of Indian respondents believe that they need access to better tools and accessories such as headsets, monitors, and webcams. Community Manager. ---

Hi Kaulin, I somewhat agree with this survey - coz first hand information would suggest that in India - employees do prefer the hybrid system of work - as most of the interviews I have done for applicants, they do ask if the company is offering a hybrid work model. Though I may not agree fully on the statement that “Hybrid working allows increased productivity” - coz once at home, focus is divided and productivity is not as much as when you are at home - not unless you have a separate room that you use for working from home - then it would be really productive 🙂 ---

Well, @Ludy if I agree to certain points and certain points may not be eligible from my perspective but nevertheless, the survey says it works in favor of the majority. Community Manager.
