Four flavors of hybrid work
Remote work | Organization | Hybrid work
May 20, 2021 – Companies are still sorting out the logistics of a hybrid remote/on-site work model. More than two-thirds of executives surveyed say their organizations either hadn’t begun developing hybrid model plans or had only discussed concepts.

Visual form
Stacked horizontal bar chart with a central percentage callout.
Layout / body structure
The chart is built as one long left-to-right bar broken into five planning stages, with a large summary figure underneath. Read the bar from the least-developed hybrid-work thinking on the left to the most developed and piloted vision on the right, then use the 68 percent callout as the overall synthesis.
What is being compared
It compares five stages of organizational maturity in planning for hybrid work, from not having started to having a detailed vision in place and pilots under way.
Measurement system
Every segment is measured as a share of respondents in percent. Segment widths and printed values show the size of each planning stage, and the standalone 68 percent figure summarizes the share without a detailed plan communicated or in place.
Visible structure inside the graphic
The single bar is divided into five labeled color blocks: 4, 32, 32, 21, and 11 percent. The large 68 percent callout below the bar condenses the first three blocks into one headline figure about how many organizations remain short of a detailed hybrid-work plan.
Main takeaway from the visual
Most organizations are still early in the journey. The visual makes that clear by concentrating the largest share of respondents in the two middle planning stages and then rolling the underdeveloped end of the bar up into the 68 percent headline.
Key standout values or extremes
The smallest segment is the 4 percent that have not started thinking about hybrid work at all. The biggest individual segments are the two 32 percent blocks for early discussion and high-level alignment, while only 11 percent have a detailed vision that has been communicated and piloted.
