Remote work is sticking
As some companies request employees return to the office, a growing majority is staying home.
Why it matters: Leadership that’s unwilling to acknowledge the impact of WFH over the past two years could see significant employee departures if their “vision” doesn’t align with the reality that remote work is becoming a deal-breaker.
