The state of attendance: WFH, RTO, and hybrid schedules

Get in your three days a week… at the office. Four years after the pandemic transformed the workplace, Zoom meetings aren’t cutting it anymore. Fully-remote-work opportunities, though in high demand, have been disappearing as companies enforce return-to-office policies. A Redfin survey said that 10% of home sales were driven by employees forced to return to the office. Still, office-vacancy rates have skyrocketed as employers settle into hybrid work. A company that uses sensors to track office occupancy in 40K+ global workspaces found that half of desks were used less than an hour a day. 

The #s… Last year Pew estimated that only 14% of working US adults were fully remote (FYI: over 60% of US workers don’t have jobs that can be done from home). Of workers with remote-capable jobs, just 35% were working from home all the time (check out the states with the most Americans working from home). Still, more than 40% of office workers say they’d take a 10% pay cut to work remotely.
