Hybrid to be new norm for return to work, finds Nasscom-Indeed study

Both employees and employers are equally interested in making a comeback to the workplace in a hybrid setup, and 50 per cent of the workforce is likely to return to offices for up to three days a week starting next year, a study by industry body National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom) and job listings portal Indeed has found.

The hybrid work model is the preferred choice of over 70 per cent of organisations according to the study. It also found that IT services and global capability centres (GCCs) are likely to be early adopters of a long-term hybrid work model.

Primarily, junior and senior management, that is, workforce under the age of 25 and above 40 years are eager to return to the workplace as compared to middle management.
