80% of execs regret calling employees back to the office::Or so says a worrying survey
But they’ll keep doing it anyway to help out their golfing buddies who are real estate moguls
Wow, what a clickbait headline which misconstrues what the sales pitch document actually says totally and completely.
80% of executives say they would have approached their company’s return-to-office strategy differently if they had access to workplace data to inform their decision-making.
Sure, this means some executives may have chosen different strategies - but this does not mean they regret their decisions. They probably would have opted for 5 days in office or just told select groups to come back to the office or something else. Very different than “we wish we didn’t have in person staff!” or “We regret asking people to return to the office!”
Shhhh… that doesn’t fit this site’s narrative that everyone should somehow work from home, and all companies are evil institutions which should be abolished, and we should all get free money from somewhere.
Companies do not use valuable metrics to run their business as much as they claim (or tell themselves) and this is no different.
Remote and flexible work is more productive, gives a company access to better talent and improves retention. The metrics are clear.

Are your hands rather small? Do you moderate a certain streamer’s chat? Just asking because your name is very familiar to me.
Sorry if that above block doesn’t pertain to you, please ignore if so lol
Wouldn’t everyone agree they would do something better if they had more data to inform their decisions?
At the very least most people would tick a box saying they would.
At the time if no appropriate data was available, decisions still have to be made based on whatever is available. And a return to the previous status quo isn’t a crazy idea in that scenario.
Yes, most people hate the idea of commuting and trying to focus in an open plan office, but that’s not what the question was about.
This is also done by a company, envoy, that helps companies understand their office data. So it’s a bit of a conflict of interest.
The greenhouse recruiting study was more interesting. Attrition goes up and companies had a harder time filling the newly vacated roles compared to companies that didn’t force a back to the office.
Personally I think the back the office mandates are a way to do voluntary layoffs without making the execs look bad

Work from home as an option is a HUGE boon to the employee so of course offering it weighs heavily upon an employee’s decision to take an offer. I’d give up 10-20% of my salary for 100% wfh, i’d expect more salary for 0% wfh or some other huge benefit like the office being very close to home.
I already turn down jobs because they are located inconveniently in relation to where I live.
