If we have learned anything is that being able to have a hybrid work life is that we have become happier and have learned what works best for us. According to the IWG Hybrid & Healthy Study Published June 2023 it “revealed how hybrid working is leading to a healthier, happier and more productive workforce, with employees exercising more, sleeping longer, eating better, and reporting better mental health.” According to IWG’s study, post pandemic and due to the new hybrid working model, the average hybrid worker is now moving more. They are getting 4.7 hours of exercise a week, compared to 3.4 hours before the pandemic; which is an increase of 38%. Good health and wellbeing are also part of the UN’s sustainable development goals for 2030. Lastly, the study revealed that almost four in five (79%) of the workers in IWG’s study said they had been more productive since switching to hybrid working, and nearly half attributed this to their decreased stress levels and increased time for relaxing and unwinding after work.
