Have you noticed that many job listings now have the word \u201chybrid\u201d in the job description? Hybrid work refers to a working model where employees work partly at the office and partly from home. This arrangement gained momentum during the pandemic, and it is increasingly prevalent in the modern workplace. Many companies have realized the benefits of continuing operations remotely, at least part-time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Gallup, <\/span>52% of workers<\/span><\/a> are hybrid or remote, and a majority of the workforce prefers remote or hybrid work. This desire for flexibility is now affecting hiring processes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Establish Clear Expectations in Job Ads<\/span><\/h3>\n

With a variety of working arrangements available, job descriptions must be specific. Will the position be remote, on-site, or hybrid? For hybrid or remote jobs, it\u2019s particularly important to describe the essential functions, roles, and responsibilities, along with the specific skills required to work from home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not all jobs can be done remotely, and some others may have restrictions. <\/b>For example, if the job requires handling confidential information, the employee may need to connect only from a home office and not from a public WiFi connection. If a job must be done on-site, that should be made plain in your job description.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Shop for the Right Skills<\/span><\/h3>\n

When a position is remote, tech skills\u2014especially proficiency in virtual communication tools\u2014are some of the capabilities you should list in the job description. <\/span>Abilities like using digital tools, having good writing and communication skills, being a self-starter, and being able to collaborate with others are critical current job requirements.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Virtual Recruitment and Onboarding Processes Have Become Standard Practice\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Due to the pandemic, many companies had to adjust to hybrid and virtual recruitment and staff management to continue operations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
