SRF Research: Hybrid Work Models on the Rise: What Companies Need to Know Now

The world of work in Switzerland is changing rapidly-and not just since the pandemic. A recent article by SRF highlights: Home office and hybrid work models are more in demand than ever. Around 14 percent of all Swiss job postings now offer the possibility to work entirely or partially from home-a record figure that impressively underscores the developments of recent years.

Home Office Is Here to Stay-But How Do You Find the Right Balance?

The numbers speak for themselves: A return to a culture of pure office presence is not in sight. Both employer and business associations confirm that flexible work models have become firmly established in the Swiss working world. Companies that can offer remote work will continue to do so-tailored to individual needs.

However, this also means: There is no universal right to work from home. Instead, the right model is negotiated between employer and employee. Especially in industries where skilled professionals are in high demand, hybrid work can be an attractive recruiting argument. Still, flexibility is not a cure-all for the shortage of skilled workers, but rather a building block for a modern, attractive work environment.

Flexibility as a Competitive Advantage

In economically challenging times, many companies are focusing on flexibility rather than salary increases to attract and retain talent. The ability to work flexibly in terms of location and hours is increasingly becoming a decisive factor when choosing an employer.

But how can you successfully combine the benefits of home office and on-site work? How do you get teams excited about coming back to the office without giving up the flexibility they’ve come to value?
