The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has accelerated the shift from a face-to-face work model to greater flexibility toward telecommuting or hybrid forms of work.

Companies have had to adapt suddenly to the telework model that provides for flexibility.

Experience has highlighted the need for a balance between work/professional and personal life. This home-based work approach has proven effective and feasible, although it still challenges work-life balance.

According to a report done by Adecco, eighty-five percent of professionals say that their productivity has increased or remained stable during the current hybrid work model. 

Experiences have prompted companies to rethink their models and implement options that attract and retain employee talent. 

However, there is a large part of the companies that are resisting and are considering a return to pre-pandemic conditions.

This could result in loss of talent due to employee dissatisfaction. The commitment to a flexible model, in which employees can choose and have possibilities to adapt to situations, has positive repercussions for motivation, productivity, and talent retention.
