Hybrid and remote work has taken a slight shift in Dublin, as outlined in the latest Dublin Chamber's Business Outlook Survey. Here are the buzzing trends in the hybrid work scene:
- Hybrid Work Arrangement: The hybrid work setup is still king among Dublin companies, with most employees required to be present in the office for approximately tuesdays and thursdays every week. This balanced approach caters to flexibility while keeping a touch of in-office connection[1][2][3].
- Fading Flexibility: There's been a dip in the percentage of businesses offering completely flexible work schedules, with only a quarter (25%) of them adopting such arrangements. This points towards a move towards structured hybrid models instead of fully remote or flexible arrangements[1][2][3].
