In today’s FRESH Takes On The Future Of Work, host Jess Podgajny discusses her fresh perspective on hybrid schedules. There has been much discussion on implementing remote work for the past two years. With some employers still wondering about the productivity of this trend, Jess shares what makes the hybrid model successful.
