3. Sales
4. Environmental
5. Legal

Each field has experienced at least 30% growth in hybrid roles. Communications led the pack, with postings more than doubling in six months. Established hybrid-heavy industries like IT and finance were excluded from this list to focus on emerging areas.

As hybrid work policies vary by company, job seekers should research specific workplace practices to ensure the role fits their preferences. Key factors to consider include the company’s formal hybrid work policy, communication style, leadership’s commitment to hybrid work, expected work hours, and how performance is measured. Clear answers on these points can help avoid surprises and identify supportive environments.

Strong communication methods, inclusive hybrid practices across all levels, and flexible schedules are signs of companies truly invested in hybrid work. Understanding expectations around presence in the office and remote work hours is essential. 

Additionally, job seekers should be aware of how success is defined and rewarded, as some companies may still favor in-office employees.
