Abstract
The discussion, definition, and development of ‘hybrid work’ (HW) started soon after the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in autumn 2020 and has continued since. This discussion touched on the time after the pandemic and what working life and workplaces would be like. HW was initially understood from the perspectives of the organisation and the individual as work defined by flexibility in terms of the situation, place, and time, where the work is done
partly from the employer's premises and partly from home or elsewhere with the help of digital tools and platforms as a medium for work, communication, and cooperation. This resembles the traditional notion of telework. However, after two years, it is still an open question precisely what the elements, content and implications of hybrid work are in practice at the individual, organisational and societal levels and whether this form of work reflects an evolution of earlier remote work and telework or a transition to a qualitatively new state of work? The issue is very much ‘under construction’.
