Five years post-COVID pandemic, American workplaces are adjusting to a hybrid work model, with workers spending an average of 2.3 days from home. This marks a shift from 2019's average of 7% remote work. Despite some companies enforcing full-day office policies, a significant number are moving towards flexibility. The increase in remote work has led to an ongoing struggle for balance between employers' office requirements and employees' preferences, with data showing that fully in-office work has decreased significantly since the peak pandemic period.
Employers swiftly made the jump to remote work in 2020. Zoom, along with other previously unfamiliar collaboration software companies, became commonplace overnight.
Employers and employees are still trying to strike the balance between working from home and at the office. That’s why employers’ requirements for in-person work don’t always align with their employees’ preferences.
Five years after the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted office life, American workplaces are settling into a new rhythm. Remote work's average has significantly risen since the pandemic.
According to Flex Index, fully in-office work is on the decline, with the number of employers insisting on daily office attendance dropping from 49% to 32%.
