Hybrid work: what it is and what it means

Hybrid work is an organizational configuration that mixes on-site presence and remote work according to fixed or flexible schedules. It is a configuration of place, not a contractual model: it describes where the work happens, not how. A company can adopt a hybrid structure regardless of the legal and organizational model applied, whether under telework or under smart working. The distinction matters to avoid inconsistent expectations about contractual and organizational constraints.
