SAN FRANCISCO–The number of hybrid jobs has surged, according to a new report.
Job postings featuring the keywords “hybrid work” year-on-year (YoY) increased by 29% in Q2 2023, while “remote work” and “work from home” options declined, according to the report by data and analytics company GlobalData.
The company said its report, “Global Hiring Activity – Trends & Signals Q2 2023”, found job postings related to hybrid work increased in industries such as travel & tourism, retail, and financial services.
Seeking a ‘Balance’
“Overall interest in hybrid roles has remained intact as companies seem to be trying to strike a balance between complying with return-to-office requirements and offering work flexibility as well,” said Sherla Sriprada, business fundamentals analyst at GlobalData. “Businesses across certain industries are weighing more on offering flexibility in work, resulting in an uptick in hybrid roles.”
An analysis of GlobalData’s Job Analytics Database reveals that some of the notable companies that posted jobs offering a hybrid work model include Element Fleet Management, Flight Centre Travel Group, Albertsons Companies, Amazon.com, Wells Fargo & Co, and Hub International.
In the case of Wells Fargo, it is seeking a “chief of staff, CSBB marketing person who will be responsible for personalization and engagement using newly implemented marketing technologies.”
‘New Work Paradigms’
“As industries adapt to new work paradigms, the surge in hybrid roles reflects the ongoing transformation in workplace dynamics,” Sriprada said. “It is a testament to the delicate balance companies are striving to achieve between structured office presence and the allure of flexible arrangements. This trend not only enhances employee satisfaction but also offers businesses a strategic edge in an evolving business landscape.”
