"Despite a steady drumbeat of "return-to-office" mandates from company leaders, recent data from Gallup suggests that the hybrid work model is not in retreat. While minor shifts have occurred, the overall landscape of work location for remote-capable employees has remained remarkably stable since 2022, solidifying hybrid work as the predominant arrangement. According to a new analysis, the percentage of remote-capable U.S. employees working in a hybrid model has seen a slight dip, from 55% to 51% in the last two quarters."
"Since the post-pandemic era began, the data reveals a persistent equilibrium. Hybrid workers are spending an average of 2.3 days in the office, or 46% of their workweek, a number that has not budged in the past year after an increase in 2023. This stability points to a model that has found its footing and become a durable feature of the modern workplace. A Tale of Two Industries: Tech and the Federal Government While the national trend holds steady, two key exceptions stand out: the tech industry and the federal government. Tech workers remain overwhelmingly mobile, with 47% being fully remote and 45% in a hybrid arrangement, figures that have remained largely unchanged since 2022."
Hybrid work remains the most common arrangement among remote-capable U.S. employees, decreasing slightly from 55% to 51% in recent quarters. Fully on-site and fully remote each rose two percentage points, indicating a subtle rebalancing rather than a large return to office. Hybrid workers average 2.3 days in the office, 46% of their workweek, unchanged over the past year. Tech sector remains highly mobile with 47% fully remote and 45% hybrid. Federal workforce experienced a sharp shift away from hybrid—from 61% to 28%—after 2025 administrative policies curtailed remote work.
