Office is going through a transition as a result of the pandemic, but a new report from JLL says that a permanent remote work model isn't in the future. Instead, offices will likely adopt a hybrid model, with both in-office and remote work. In fact, the two models can be complementary when businesses adopt the best characteristics of each. The JLL report challenges companies to curate the right mix of working patterns to create this hybrid model, which will become the new normal in office.

The report outlines four key strategies that companies should employ: no one-size-fits-all; hybrid model and choice; elastic workplace but single community; responsible enterprise.

In no one-size-fits-all, companies should start by understanding that there won't be a new standard work environment. Instead, the mix of remote work versus in-office work will depend on the company, the type of work and the employees. Some companies are better equipped for remote work than others. Determining the mix will require that companies outline the tasks that can be done remotely and the technology needed to accomplish remote work successfully.
