This article explains what is a work status and how it helps implement hybrid work.

1. Activating work status
The work status option can be enabled at the User Group level.
Navigate to Settings → Manage Users → Groups → click on the name of the group you want to enable work statuses for → Work statuses tab. From there, you can activate the option. All users within that group will then have access to this feature.
If you do not see the work status module (tab) in your YAROOMS account, it is likely that this module is not available for your subscription. To get started with work statuses, please get in touch with sales@yarooms.com.
2. How does it work
The work status module empowers organizations to define the hybrid work style behaviour and allows employees to set up their schedules and specify when they are going to work at home, when - in the office.
Depending on the user's work status, YAROOMS will make some assumptions regarding the way each user should interact with the reservable resources:
| Status | Assumption |
| In the office | A desk booking is required / Other space reservations are possible. |
| Work from home | No desk booking or other in-office reservation is needed. |
| Out of office | No desk booking or other in-office reservation is needed. |
In their calendar, the users can see their daily work statuses as well as check if any further action is required:
- If the work status is set, it will be shown in the calendar.
- If the work status is not yet set, a "Set work status" option will appear.
