Half of Workers Wish to Remain Remote Permanently

(From SHRM) New research from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) shows over half (52%) of 1,000 U.S. workers would choose to permanently work from home on a full-time basis if given the option. Of those who would choose to work permanently from home, 35% would accept a reduction in salary to do so, and 66% would still choose to work from home full time if the majority of Americans got the COVID-19 vaccine and herd immunity was achieved. "The research confirms that the post-COVID workplace will be a hybrid onsite/remote work model," said Cali Williams Yost, a workplace change strategist. However, experts caution that shifting to a hybrid work model will require a "whole new way of operating supported by a framework of planning, coordination and execution skills that need to be part of the implementation."
