Freedom + boundaries = a happy remote team

Remote and hybrid work can be a win-win—if everyone knows the rules. Without a clear agreement in place, you’re opening the door to confusion, unmet expectations, and some awkward conversations down the road.

That’s where a remote & hybrid work agreement comes in. It’s a simple yet essential document that lays out:

  • Who can work remotely (not all jobs are laptop-friendly)
  • When & how employees can work from home (full-time? hybrid? just Tuesdays?)
  • What’s expected in terms of availability, communication, and productivity
  • Who covers what costs (internet? office equipment? posture-friendly chairs?)
  • How performance will be measured (because ‘working from home’ ≠ binge-watching Netflix)

Think of this agreement as your remote work playbook—protecting your business, keeping employees accountable, and making sure everyone’s on the same page (literally).

Why you need a remote & hybrid work agreement

  • Avoid misunderstandings – No more “I thought I could work from Bali” surprises.
  • Keep things fair – Consistent policies prevent resentment from creeping in.
  • Reduce legal risk – Spell out responsibilities to avoid future disputes.
  • Boost productivity – Clarity helps remote teams stay focused and engaged.

Without a well-thought-out agreement, remote work can turn into a free-for-all. This document helps prevent slacking, ghosting, and blurred work-life boundaries.
