The post-pandemic evolution of work structure has given rapid evolution of the modern workplace, accelerated by digital transformation and the post-pandemic paradigm shift, which has given rise to the hybrid workforce, combining remote and in-office work arrangements to create flexible operational frameworks. The COVID-19 pandemic acted as a catalyst, compelling organisations to adopt flexible models that surpass traditional office boundaries. This research examines the strategic policy framework required for managing a hybrid workforce with a focus on identifying critical challenges, including communication barriers across distributed teams, technological infrastructure inadequacies, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities in distributed work environments, compliance complexities with evolving labour laws and data protection regulations, such as the Indian Labour Codes and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The paper also examines how strategic human resources policies, reinforced by legal compliance and digital governance, can mitigate these challenges while promoting inclusivity and productivity. Different types of work models show HR and leaders how to implement flexible arrangements that not only enhance employee engagement and satisfaction but also contribute to overall business performance, including cost optimisation, access to a diverse talent pool, improved employee satisfaction, and enhanced sustainability through reduced infrastructure dependency. This research aims to develop a practical and inclusive framework that combines strategic and legal approaches to manage hybrid workforces more effectively, focusing on overcoming regulatory, managerial and technological challenges.
