Why do workers prefer remote and hybrid work?

In 2021, nearly 70% of full-time US workers had worked remotely. These employees got used to a new standard of working that let them set their own boundaries and decide when, where, and how they wanted to work. Of those who returned to the office, 57% of employees prefer working from home full-time.

  • Live where they want
  • Spend more time with their family
  • Better manage work-life conflict
  • Be less stressed

What makes a workplace a great place to work? Workers are overworked, tired, and don’t feel trusted. It’s up to employers to provide the flexibility their workforce needs in order to continue thriving, whether the company is fully remote or not.
