As one of the most visible effects of the pandemic, hybrid working -- combining remote and in-person working -- has now become the norm in many companies around the world. They studied the effects of hybrid working on 1,612 employees of Trip.com, an online travel agency based in China, between 2021 and 2022.This company began implementing hybrid working from 2021, through a six-month trial. Few women volunteered to test hybrid working, certainly for fear of being frowned upon by their management. Contrary to the findings of other studies, occasional remote working did not hinder their career development. And that's just as well, considering that some 100 million workers worldwide now alternate between in-office and remote working.
