A major reason flexibility in work location has become so entrenched is because employees really like the flexibility it provides, including the perceived control they’ve gained over their “worklife balance,” and they like it a lot. (That includes many of the middle managers and directors who are responsible for enforcing any RTO mandates.) Analysis by WFH Research, for example, suggests employees equate the ability to work three days a week at home and two in the office with an increase in pay of about 7 to 8 percent. RCEs who don’t work in their preferred arrangement, meanwhile, “have significantly lower employee engagement, alongside higher burnout and desire to quit,” said PwC researchers. “They simply do not feel well-positioned to do their best work or live their best life.” A mere 6 percent of RCEs are open to working entirely on-site going forward, showed PwC figures. That’s not to suggests only workers like the new work arrangements. Companies also have experienced clear positive returns, argued Nicholas Bloom, a Stanford economics professor who started studying remote and hybrid work arrangements years before the pandemic. In addition to the aforementioned possibility to reduce payroll costs by up to 7 or 8 percent, quit rates also are down, said Bloom. “In the randomized control trial we are just wrapping up, quit rates are down 35 percent,” he recently told Time magazine.
