Why Employees Want Hybrid WorkHybrid work is a big departure fro
Hybrid work is a big departure from the traditional work model. It is a flexible approach that allows employees to split their time between working in the office and working from home. Employees see the values in hybrid work. A survey conducted with Wakefield Research shows that almost half of employees would likely look for another job if their employer doesn't offer a flexible work model. Therefore, it's no surprise that data from our most recent survey shows that 77% of companies have already opted to go hybrid. What's more,56% of those companies are allowing employees to choose when and how often they wish to come into the office. So,what attracts employees to a hybrid work model?

In addition to a better work-life balance, another value of hybrid work models is to reduce exposure to illness. The last two years have made some people nervous to embrace busy spaces again1.In fact,87% of employees said last year they were worried about their health and safety when it came to returning to work. Hybrid working means fewer people in the workplace at one time. This lowers the chance of a sick employee infecting others. And since people have the option to work remotely under most hybrid work models, a sick employee can stay home altogether to protect their coworkers.
Finally, employees can choose to work when and how they're most efficient. In an office-first model, people are expected to be on the clock between 9 am and 5 pm every workday. In a hybrid work model, employees have more flexibility to get work done when and where they're most productive. This means flexible schedules and locations. For example, some people work best early in the morning while others do better in the evening. They can also choose to work with teammates on-site or work from a remote location.
In conclusion, hybrid work can help employees strike a better balance between work and life, become less exposed to illness, and work more efficiently than traditional office-based work models. Employees can alternate between home and the office seamlessly in a hybrid work model-without a dip in productivity. The hybrid model is no longer an alternative style of work. It's here to stay. Companies today must meet the needs of their workforce or risk losing talent to employers that do.
【正确答案】：
First of all, finding a better work-life balance is easier in a hybrid workplace. When employees have more control of their work schedules, they can free up time to take care of the things that crop up in their personal lives, whether it's picking up kids from daycare, or being home for a delivery. According to Justin Bullock, a sales manager, hybrid work gave him the flexibility to attend his 10-year-old's birthday party." As a parent, hybrid work helps me integrate these kinds of activities into my routine," said Bullock." That means more time for the things that matter most, which makes me happier and more refreshed to do work."
