South Africans are sticking to Hybrid Work – BrandMapp

GUEST - Brandon de Kock, BrandMapp’s Director of Storytelling says, “It turns out that hybrid work is surprisingly sticky amongst South African mid- to top-end earners. Traditionally, work from home has mostly been the preserve of those who are self-employed. There are, of course, jobs that are strictly bound to the workplace such as healthcare practitioners, retail store managers, manufacturing and hospitality employees, but many knowledge workers and corporate managers can do a lot of their work just as well from home. It seems that the pandemic gave many more people the opportunity to experience work from home, and a lot of them like it.”
