Returning to the Office: The Current, Preferred and Future State of Remote Work. -Gallup

"The 'Great Global Work-From-Home Experiment' created by the COVID-19 pandemic has changed how we work and expect to work far into the future. As organizations ease back into office life, employees and employers are navigating a new chapter in this experiment. One that is now blending remote work flexibility and on-site work.

Using a nationally representative sample of 8,090 remote-capable U.S. employees surveyed in June 2022, we explored the following questions:

1. How many remote-capable employees are currently working hybrid or fully remote?
2. Where do they expect to work long-term and where would they prefer to work?
3. What happens when remote-capable employees do not work in their preferred location(s)

The Findings:

Approximately 56% of full-time employees in the U.S.--more than 70 million workers-- say their job can be done working remotely from home. We call them 'remote-capable employees.'

Current work location for remote-capable workers as of June 2022:
-five in 10 are working hybrid (part of their week at home and part on-site)
-three in 10 are exclusively working remotely
-two in 10 are entirely on-site"

About a third of U.S. workers who can work from home now do so all the time. -Pew Research

"Roughly three years after the COVID-19 pandemic upended U.S. workplaces, about a third (35%) of workers with jobs that can be done remotely are working from home all of the time, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. This is down from 43% in January 2022 and 555 in October 2020- but up from only 7% before the pandemic.

While the share working from home all the time has fallen off somewhat as the pandemic has gone on, many workers have settled into hybrid work. The new survey finds that 41% of those with jobs that can be done remotely are working a hybrid schedule- that is, working from home some days and from the office, workplace or job site other days. This is up from 35% in January 2022.

Among hybrid workers who are not self-employed, most (63%) say their employer requires them to work in person a certain number of days per week or month. About six-in-ten hybrid workers (59%) say they work from home three or more days in a typical week, while 41% say they do so two days or fewer.

Many hybrid workers would prefer to spend more time working from home than they currently do. About a third (34%) of those who are currently working from home most of the time say, if they had the choice, they'd like to work from home all the time. And among those who are working from home some of the time, half say they'd like to do so all (18%) or most (32%) of the time."
