Recommendation

The appeal of working from home in your yoga pants and taking your dog for a walk during coffee breaks may be waning. Many American workers want to return to the office – yet they also find it hard to give up some of the flexibility and self-determination they gained during COVID-19’s long work-from-home experiment. As with many things in life, the ideal solution lies in the middle. Amanda Mull, a staff writer for The Atlantic, reports that working from home two days a week will turn out to be a win-win for employers and employees.

Take-Aways

  • As the pandemic tapers down, working from home full-time has lost its appeal for many employees.
  • Employers and employees are likely to settle on a hybrid work model.
  • Post-pandemic, employees will have a window of opportunity to ask for more self-determination.
