Hybrid Workspace
Employees engage in a combination of remote and on-site work.
Teams have a range of in-office needs: some require 24/7 coverage or hands-on maintenance, while others operate across time zones. While the majority of teams adopt a fairly even split between in-office and remote work, many come in every day.
