Companies have been imploring workers to return to the office post-COVID, but they might already be changing their minds. 

Companies have been imploring workers to return to the office post-COVID, but they might already be changing their minds. Survey data from The Conference Board shows that “return-to-office mandates of [large] companies such as Amazon, Disney, and Starbucks represent the exception, not the rule.” In reality, only 3% of CEOs report that they would decrease the availability of remote work in their companies. Plus, only 5% said they would expand their hybrid work policies. (Even Elon Musk retracted his mandate for Twitter employees to work in the office.) YPulse’s Employment and Career Goals report data shows the majority of Gen Z and Millennial workers prefer the option to work at home or at least hybrid and 64% of young people say having flexible work hours / ability to work from anywhere is very / extremely important to them.
