Remote work is harder to come by as companies push for return to office
For many employees, the remote work gravy train is coming to a halt. What that could mean for morale and productivity:
Why are companies pushing for more in-office work?
Companies are emphasizing in-office work to enhance collaboration, creativity, and training opportunities, especially for younger employees. Research indicates that in-person interactions can lead to more feedback and advancement opportunities. As the pandemic has ended, many organizations believe that some level of in-person presence is essential for workplace success.
What are the current trends in remote work?
The trend shows that fully remote positions are becoming harder to find, with only 8% of surveyed office workers currently working remotely. A Boston Consulting Group survey revealed that 85% of employees are in some form of hybrid work, with many believing they should be in the office at least a third of the time while preferring flexibility in their schedules.
What are some examples of companies changing their remote work policies?
Several companies have tightened their in-office requirements. For instance, BlackRock now requires employees to be in the office at least four days a week, while Farmers Insurance mandates three in-person days for employees living within 50 miles of an office. Zoom has introduced a policy where employees within 50 miles of an office must work in-person twice a week, reflecting a broader shift towards in-office work.
