hybrid worker
Partly remote employee
A hybrid worker is an employee who splits their work time between a traditional office and remote locations, typically home.
The arrangement became widespread after the COVID-19 pandemic normalized remote work while many employers still wanted some in-person presence: Most of us are hybrid workers now—three days in the office, two from home.
