The hybrid age has diluted the norms of governing work, we then are more likely to thrive by coming up with new ideas, turning them to innovations, and being open to new ways of working.
Being open to experience aids us in defying our own limitations and expectations of ourselves. It makes us venture outside of our comfort zone forcing us to learn, dicuss, or experience things that challenge our core assumptions. It builds our character, flexibility, and our feelings towards uncertainty.

Openness to Experience

Having empathy allows us to understand the thoughts and feelings of another person. 
In a hybrid work environment, we need to make an effort in order to understand each other better and this requires empathy. In order to practice and develop empathy, we need to take the time to get to know the other person well and take on their perspective.
The more we develop empathy, the easier we'll be able to navigate other's emotions.

Empathy

Hybrid work environments call for self-learning and having a curious trait predicts one's willingness to learn and continue to grow and develop their own potential with little need for a manager.
Curious people engage more in solving problems creatively and are more likely to connect with people who are different in a sense. 
Hybrid work environments are well-suited for curious people because they are rewarded with a fast-moving environment and the opportunity to work with diversity in experiences, backgrounds, and values.
