Employers requiring in-office work post-pandemic face challenges as 87% mandate at least three office days, conflicting with employees’ negative perceptions about commuting.
As employees move further from city centers for affordability, the current average commute stretches to 54 miles round-trip, a significant rise from 2019.
To boost retention and attract talent, employers might consider reimbursing commuting costs which can average $36 daily for employees, alleviating financial strain.
The dual challenge consists of maintaining employee morale while adapting to a highly competitive labor market and evolving worker preferences for hybrid models.
