HR.com: Is Hybrid Work Revealing More Than We Realized?
Featuring Barry K. Herman, MD, MMM, DLFAPA, Chief Medical Officer at Mentavi Health. Published in HR.com.
This article explores what hybrid work may be revealing about the workplace.
In the article, Dr. Herman shares his perspective on what the shift to hybrid work can show employers and employees about how people work and how they are doing.
Hybrid schedules changed more than where people sit. They changed how teams communicate, how people set boundaries between work and home, and how easy it is to notice when a colleague is struggling. For some employees, flexibility brings relief. For others, mixing home and office can bring isolation, blurred boundaries, or the sense of always being available.
Because the effects differ from person to person, there is no single right setup. Employers can help by asking employees what is working, keeping expectations clear, and making it easy to raise concerns early.
Employees who notice lasting changes in mood, sleep, focus, or worry may want to talk with a licensed clinician, whatever their work arrangement.
