Are you working or seeking a remote or hybrid job? 82% of workers now want remote or hybrid work options but some companies are still demanding employees come back to the office.

Corporate powerhouses like Morgan Stanley and Apple want their employees back in the office, despite the overwhelming data that shows people like remote or hybrid work as a permanent fixture in the corporate world.

In a recent study of 1,000 people across the US and Canada conducted by Jonathan Shroyer, CX Innovation Officer at Arise, found that 82% of people want hybrid or remote options and 61% of people wish they worked remotely while 21.8% of people surveyed said they want a hybrid option. 5% of those surveyed currently work in remote or hybrid roles. 

Companies and employers who fail to understand what the majority of people want may see an increase in churn, poor acquisition rates and will see long-term, great employees leave for better, more forward-thinking companies. 

“The future of work is increasingly digitized one. People can and have worked well remotely since the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the need for it. Now, people see the value in remote or hybrid work in a post-pandemic world. Smart companies will see and hear what their team wants and will accommodate them. The people are showing that they want remote and hybrid work, companies that will remain successful will listen to them,” explains business executive and Arise CX Innovation Officer Jonathan Shroyer.
