Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings No significant difference is found between employees working from home, in the office or in hybrid settings in relation to work-to-family or family-to-work conflict. Employees working in the office have higher levels of work engagement and job satisfaction than those working at home or in hybrid settings. Employees working at home have the highest levels of stress, followed by hybrid workers and then employees working in an office. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
