One might argue that return-to-office mandates don’t work, since they fail to boost productivity and they hurt workers. Talk to some executives in C-suites across the nation, however, and you just might hear another story.
A recent survey found that 25% of VP and C-suite executives say that they hoped for “some voluntary turnover during” a return to the office push. In other words, one in four executives want to push their workers towards leaving the company in order to downsize, and want to cut out remote work to force them out. Worse, that’s just the number of executives who’ll admit to this.
For huge swathes of hard-working employees, however, fully remote or hybrid job positions are the only option. Perhaps they’re caring for young children or elderly family members during all hours of the day, or maybe they have disabilities that prevent them from leaving their home.
Whatever the case, workplace flexibility is a core need for many, even beyond those who simply want to cut out their commute, wear pajamas all the time, or become digital nomads. The good news? You can still find plenty of companies happy to let you decide your own remote-working fate.
