More Than Half of Colombian Workers Would Choose Hybrid Work
Hybrid work continues to have strong support among Colombian workers, even at a time when companies are once again increasing in-office work, following the widespread adoption of remote work during the 2020 pandemic and the years that followed.

A recent study by WeWork and Michael Page indicates that over half of Colombian workers would favor a hybrid work model that alternates between remote and in-person work. This preference remains strong even as companies are gradually returning to office-based work post-pandemic. According to the study, 56.17% of Colombian workers would choose this arrangement if given the choice.
The reported trend shows that the conversation surrounding the future of work is not solely about deciding between the office and home, but rather about finding a flexible balance between the two. Only 39.66% of Colombian workers currently have access to a hybrid work setup. Workers favor the hybrid model due to benefits such as increased flexibility, reduced commuting, and a better work-life balance.
The experience gained during remote work has also altered employees' expectations, with the office no longer being the sole productive workspace, and home becoming part of a new workplace configuration. Hybrid work outpaces fully in-person work, which is chosen by just 10.44% of participants. Additionally, 26.94% of workers would prefer remote work with optional office attendance.
Although workers favor hybrid work, many companies are moving toward restoring more in-person work. This presents a challenge for companies to balance operational needs with employees' preferences. Despite workers' preference for hybrid work, companies are gradually shifting back to traditional in-person models.
