⚖️ Remote vs. Office Tug-of-War Finding Equilibrium? |
The buzzword for office workers in recent years has migrated from “remote” to “hybrid” and now possibly to “flexible.” |
Most businesses have settled into a new normal in the aftermath of a sort of work-from-home by necessity experiment during the onset of COVID-19. |
In general, business owners often want employees in the office more often and employees often want to be home more. But the data indicates a lot of businesses are finding a happy middle ground. |
A new study says 62% of employees would take a pay cut of at least 10% in order to get more schedule flexibility. Still, 94% of workers say you can convince them to come to the office. |
The percentage of people working in offices vaulted back from 41% in 2022 to 66% this year. And three days a week in the office has become the most popular hybrid work model. |
Here’s a treasure trove of additional data on the views of employers and employees on work in 2023. |
