BENEFITS OF HYBRID WORKING
Hybrid working is being embraced by organisations in New Zealand and around the world.
Organisations have seen the benefits that come with hybrid working, including an increase in
productivity as well as cost savings. s9(2)(g)(i)
Creating a hybrid workspace is an investment in our culture and our people. By offering an alternative
way of working, we are recognising that how we work has changed post pandemic, and empowers our

people to have control over how and where they work, collaborate and socialise while in the office. It
does this by:
• Providing more variety of spaces to support different working needs and acoustic demand;

• Creating a consistent and seamless experience across workpoints;
• Resetting and realigning cultural goals; and
• Creating spaces to enable our people to come together socially.
An additional benefit to creating a hybrid workspace, is the cost savings that are able to be realised.
Developing a hybrid workspace would enable NZTE to achieve savings in rental costs by $1.6m over

practical aspects of implementing a hybrid workspace, including the design of ‘neighbourhoods’, social
spaces and the allocation of anchor desks. We’l also implement change management practices to help
our people prepare for the change that comes with the implementation of hybrid working.
