A recent survey by the Bay Area Council indicates that white-collar workers in the Bay Area are regularly attending the office at least three days a week, typically Tuesday through Thursday. While there has been a modest return to in-office work since the pandemic, only a small percentage of companies plan to mandate more days in the coming months. Larger companies are more inclined to enforce office attendance. Mixed responses from employees regarding return-to-work policies, which have been met with some resistance, highlight the ongoing tensions in workplace dynamics post-COVID.
Overwhelmingly we found that those that require employees to come in feel like their policy is very effective, Raisz said. When they request, it's less effective.
About 40% of companies responding to the February survey said they had mandated increased in-office days over the previous six months.
Nearly two-thirds of office-based employees attended workplaces on three consecutive days: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, according to a survey by the Bay Area Council.
Larger firms, with 1,000 or more employees, were considerably more likely to say they would add mandatory office days over the next half year.
