Hybrid Work: What Research Says on Retention, Culture, Location

Hybrid Work: What Research Says on Retention, Culture, Location

An Infosys executive argued in a March 2023 HR Dive column that hybrid work arrangements are linked to employee retention, while a July 2026 Regional Science Policy & Practice paper found that fully remote work, rather than hybrid arrangements, is associated with migration to rural areas in Great Britain. A 2021 Chief Learning Officer analysis separately argued that debating remote versus office work overlooks the need to redesign workplace technology and culture.

  • 01Fully remote work, not hybrid arrangements, is associated with inter-regional migration and rural revival in Great Britain, while remote-centric and office-centric hybrid models show limited geographic expansion.
  • 02An Infosys vendor report found 73% of respondents expected flexible or remote arrangements to expand and 65% were hiring remote workers due to candidate preference, though these are self-reported expectations rather than verified outcomes.
  • 03A 2021 UK study found 70% of city workers believed physical office presence increased promotion chances, 82% wanted benefits revamps, and 71% felt their company's benefits were outdated.
