The study focused on oil industry employees who were non-front line workers in South Africa. The research explored both high and low perceptions in order to capture how the employees really felt about the hybrid work model plan's (HWMP)impact on employee and company performance. Literature found that some other flexibility models and hybrid models contributed to employee happiness, where employees were able to manage family dynamics as well as be productive, while other literature also detailed that the hybrid work model was not effective in driving collaboration and networking amongst employees. The research study also gives suggestions and recommendations on how many days employees prefer to be in the office to drive both productivity, performance, and collaboration while managing family dynamics in between and ultimately being happyemployeesen© 2025 University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.
