Abstract
Like many libraries, the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School Lamar Soutter Library adopted a hybrid work model when returning to onsite work after being remote during the COVID-19 Pandemic. To inform this model, a Hybrid Work Environment Team used existing metrics, a literature review, and surveyed staff on how they felt about hybrid work. Most Library staff stated that 75%-100% of their work could be completed remotely and the most popular onsite schedule was two or three days a week. The hybrid work model provides benefits of both remote and onsite work and hopefully mitigates the drawbacks of both.
