The "work-home" perspective emphasizes how modern careers are shaped by the dynamic relationship between work and personal life throughout a career. Changes in the economy, organizational structures, and workforce demographics have made this interconnection more significant. This perspective influences areas like self-management, career success, global careers, and sustainability. It challenges traditional views of career trajectories by integrating personal life factors and their impact on career decisions and outcomes.

• Future studies should examine how hybrid and flexible work models affect the balance of work and home life, and how this balance influences career outcomes, especially in terms of sustainability.

While hybrid work has helped with hiring and retention, it has also led to some disconnect among staff and increased pressure on middle managers. The report suggests that news organizations need to focus on fostering a sense of belonging, improving diversity, and creating an inclusive culture to retain talent and adapt to the future of work.

• Hybrid and flexible work models have created both opportunities and challenges in newsrooms. While they help with recruitment and retention, they also cause a disconnect among staff, affecting collaboration and team cohesion.

• To adapt to the future of work, newsrooms must prioritize fostering a sense of belonging, improving diversity, and creating an inclusive culture. This is critical not only for employee retention but also for maintaining a strong, adaptable workforce in the face of ongoing changes in work models.

Hybrid work in the medical field refers to a flexible work model where healthcare professionals split their time between onsite duties (e.g., hospitals, clinics, or patient homes) and remote work tasks (e.g., telemedicine, administrative work, or research). The adoption of hybrid work in healthcare has been accelerated by advancements in technology and the need to balance patient care with operational efficiency, particularly during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

• Telemedicine is growing in popularity and offers physicians, nurses, and therapists the ability to work from home and communicate with patients virtually. Telehealth platforms such as ZocDoc and BetterHelp became exceptionally popular after the rise of COVID-19.

• Administrative tasks are also increasingly shifting towards a hybrid or work-home model. Billing, documentation, claims, and treatment plans can all be done from home through the ease of internet access.

• Some challenges are brought along with the move to hybrid telehealth, including data security, effective communication, quality of care, and technology barriers/ equal access.
