The pandemic scenario from 2020 to 2022 has cast a spotlight on remote work (RW). Thus,
this recent past has brought a new reality to organizations and a novel way of organizing work. The
results of the qualitative study for the Portuguese case of the EURECA Project are presented here. The
guiding question of this research was, 'What role does remote work play in addressing the new challenges
in human resources/career management arising from the Covid-19 pandemic scenario in Portuguese
institutions?' The study followed a case study approach, based on the assumptions of practice-based
theory. Ten Portuguese organizations were surveyed, with input from their directors or human resources
representatives. The results highlight the new challenges faced by the hybrid work model, such as
communication and ICT, internationalization and HR, workforce diversity, and team leadership, among
others. Practical implications are also discussed, and some recommendations for these organizational
practices are presented.
