Abstract

Modern times means adjusting to the changing business environment for employees’. With the development of technology and the progress in the dynamisms of the business environment; certain adjustments had to be made. Over the past couple of years, many multinational organizations have changed their business strategies to the modern aspect of hybridization. The concept of hybridization is relatively new with very few models that have been designed to understand the concept. Grasping the concept of a hybrid workplace has been a transitional phase for employees. The paper intends to explore the necessity of a hybrid workplace, how employees are engaging and adapting to the changes, hence looking towards the aspects of its impact on employee productivity. The research will investigate a number of multinational organizations that have transitioned into this change and highlight the problems and issues that are of concern. As the topic is still thriving, quantifiable data will be collected from secondary sources and will be presented and discussed in this paper.
