WFH: A third of workers would look for a new job if forced into the office full time
Briefly

Recent research shows that nearly a third of employees would consider leaving their jobs if their employers mandated a return to full-time office work. While 58% of workers indicated they would comply with such policies, 29% would actively seek alternative employment. These findings reflect the challenges companies face in implementing return-to-office mandates, particularly following a significant employee backlash at firms like WPP. In contrast, Citi stands out by offering more flexible working conditions, allowing employees to work from home twice a week, signaling varying employee preferences across sectors.
