Discover the benefits of hybrid work for engineers with expert insight from Stanford's Nick Bloom and Microsoft. This essential read from Inc. shows how a well-managed hybrid environment fosters flexibility, talent attraction and in-person collaboration with a balanced approach to work and life.
What is the current trend in remote work?
Recent data indicates that hybrid work, specifically a model of three days in the office and two days at home, is likely to remain a standard practice. Research shows that about 25% of working days in the U.S. are currently remote, with a significant portion of employees preferring this flexible arrangement.
How do employees feel about returning to the office?
Surveys conducted during the pandemic reveal that while employees appreciate the office environment, they prefer not to return every day, especially on Mondays and Fridays. This preference for flexibility is a key factor in attracting and retaining talent in today's labor market.
What does the future hold for hybrid work models?
Looking ahead, it is predicted that as remote work technologies improve, the landscape will shift further. Estimates suggest that by the long term, 40% of jobs may be in-person, 50% hybrid, and 10% fully remote, with the proportion of remote workdays potentially increasing from 25% to 40% over the next two decades.
