Act in haste, repent at leisure? This may be the case for the vast majority of bosses who ordered remote workers to return to the office.
According to a new study from workplace management firm Envoy, 80% of bosses said they mandated office returns too quickly, relying on “their gut instinct” without data analyzing the implications of the decision. The result: Many companies were surprised by the degree of worker dissatisfaction and were unprepared when key employees quit in protest.
And the trend of employees wanting to work remotely isn’t ending. A new Deloitte study found that 66% of financial services employees working remotely said they would quit if ordered back to the office five days a week.
