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.

Fully 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.
An 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.
A 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office presence increased promotion chances, 82% wanted benefits revamps, and 71% felt their company’s benefits were outdated.
