2024 has been another challenging year for the workplace. Many employers are once again pushing for a full return to the office while employees, especially Gen Z, are resisting and setting boundaries. The tension of that push and pull will continue in 2025, and is likely to become even more heightened.
In our eighth annual State of Hybrid Work report, we found that the "full return" has failed - hybrid work is here to stay. Full-time office work is down 6%, with remote roles up 57% year-over-year. The flexible “3-2” hybrid model is set to become the norm, while companies still mandating five-day in-office work face the threat of increased employee turnover. Of the 2,000 employees surveyed, 55% said they would leave a job for work-life balance, 25% said they would depart for greater flexibility in work locations, and 25% for greater flexibility in work hours.
