Employees Prefer Remote Work Over Promotion, and 50% Said They Would Look For New Job If Required To Return Full-Time to Office

On March 21, 2022 Bisnow published report that “Half of all companies plan to require full-time in-person work within a year.  There seems to be a major disconnect between what employees want and what employers want…perhaps there will be two types of companies with two types of workers, those that require workers to be in the office, and find those employees happy with this arrangement, and then the rest of the companies that will be more flexible with where their employees work…it would be interesting to see which group is more productive. I have been coming into the office daily for the past 18 months but I live ten minutes from my office…if I had a nasty commute, or didn’t have a great group of associates I team up with on a regular basis perhaps I would be working from home more. The great thing is with modern connectivity, hardware, software, cloud etc. we actually have a choice how we want to work and live. This would not have been practical twenty years ago.
