Why Hybrid Policy Is Not Workplace Strategy

Audience

CHROs, COOs, leadership teams

Core question

Why do day-count policies fail as workplace strategy?

Thesis

A hybrid policy is one variable in a system of demand, supply, rhythm and value. Day counts produce attendance without overlap — the signature failure — because they answer 'how many days' without asking 'for what'.

Suggested structure
  1. The policy reflex
  2. Attendance without overlap: the evidence
  3. Presence value at three levels
  4. From policy to presence logic
Research sources
  • Hybrid coordination research
  • Overlap and team performance studies (Bloom et al.)
