There are some different schools of thought on remote work, or working from home, but several new indicators strongly suggest that the trend—which has existed for decades but has surged in popularity during the pandemic—likely represents, at least in part, the future of work.
A new survey from The Conference Board found that a mere 28% of US employees expect to go back to their offices by year’s end. Further, just 17% of respondents feel ‘very comfortable’ returning, at any point, and 31% are simply ‘not comfortable.’
There was a particular split in the ranks, with 20% of individual contributors feeling pressure to return, while just 4% of C-suite executives felt that issue.
