Hybrid Work Statistics (2022)
The way the world works has been on a seesaw since 2020.
- Just about everyone worked in the office in 2019
- Just about everyone worked from home from 2020 – 2021
- Now, the majority of companies are trying out a hybrid work model
My theory is simple: Every company had an office (and a lease). Then everyone started to work from home and preferred it. So now managers are just playing it up the middle. Hybrid work is, essentially, a bit of both. Nonetheless, the hybrid trend is strong right now.
In this database, we’ve compiled every meaningful statistic about the hybrid work model. You’ll find statistics about adoption, productivity, employee preferences, and more in the list below.
