What is a hybrid body lease (hybrid body leasing)?

Responding to changing work preferences

The hybrid model has gained popularity as a response to changing expectations of both IT professionals and companies. After a period of forced remote work pandemonium, many appreciated its flexibility, but at the same time began to see the value of face-to-face interactions and teamwork in the office. Companies, in turn, have realized that remote work can be effective, but that being in the office fosters organizational culture, creativity and integration. Hybrid body leasing seeks to reconcile these two perspectives.

Advantages of the hybrid model

The hybrid model offers potential benefits for all parties:

• For the client: Enables you to enjoy the benefits of working remotely (e.g., access to a wider talent pool) while still being able to work face-to-face, more easily integrate the contractor into the team and better oversee certain tasks. It can also help build stronger relationships within the team.
• For the specialist: Provides greater flexibility and work-life balance than a purely stationary job, while providing the opportunity for regular meetings with the team, attendance at workshops or informal interactions that are sometimes difficult in a fully remote model.
• For the provider: Increases the attractiveness of offerings for professionals who prefer hybrid models and allows for better tailoring of the cooperation model to the specific requirements of different clients.

Challenges of the hybrid model

The implementation of the hybrid model also comes with some challenges. It is necessary to establish precise rules for hybrid work (e.g., which days are spent in the office, how work is organized on remote and stationary days). This requires providing the right technological infrastructure to support both modes of work. It becomes crucial to manage communication and ensure equal access to information for remote and stationary workers to avoid creating divisions within the team. It may also be necessary to adapt organizational culture and management style to the realities of hybrid work.

Organization of hybrid work

Companies use different approaches to organize hybrid work in body leasing. This can be a fixed division of days of the week (e.g., 3 days in the office, 2 remotely), a flexible schedule set on an individual basis, a requirement to be in the office only on certain days (e.g., for team meetings, workshops), or others tailored to the needs of the project and team.

Summary

Hybrid body leasing is a flexible approach that seeks to combine the best aspects of remote and onsite work. It offers potential benefits in terms of flexibility, access to talent and team integration, but requires conscious management and adequate organizational and technological preparation to realize its full potential and meet the associated challenges.
