Recent announcements from companies and the federal government pushing for a return to in-office work have sparked significant employee backlash, including petitions and increased turnover. Employees, having adapted to flexible remote work arrangements, feel justified in their discontent when such arrangements are altered. This situation poses challenges for managers, who must navigate team morale and validate employees' emotions. Research indicates that remote work increases happiness and effectiveness, suggesting the importance of flexibility in enhancing overall team engagement and productivity.
Employee engagement has long been measured at an organizational level as an indicator of organizational effectiveness and workforce retention.
Flexible work arrangements and ability to work remotely have shown positive correlations to employee happiness, augmenting this sentiment by as much as 20%.
