Human resource professionals are responsible for advising and sharing relevant workforce trends and research with senior leaders.

Directions

In this assignment, you are serving as an HR specialist for your organization. You report to Mr$.$ Green, who serves as the HR manager in a rapidly growing organization. Mr$.$ Green is collaborating with the executive leadership team to explore the potential adoption of a hybrid work program. In preparation for any future discussions, Mr$.$ Green has asked you to provide the latest trend information about hybrid work. He must discuss the hybrid model with the executive leadership team.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

Trends: Select three trends in hybrid work.

Justify: Explain why the three trends were chosen.

Benefits and Risks: Compare and contrast the benefits and risks of applying the identified hybrid work trends in a rapidly growing organization. Note: Growth looks different for every company.
