"These figures are important since we can see that 35% and 23% of decision-makers consider remote work less effective than office work."
But this means that 65% and 77% of them feel that it does NOT make it less effective which is a much better talking point to me.
Also, this: "The myth that people are more productive at home than at the office will eventually crumble since data is showing there isn’t much difference.". But this is not what is argued by the RTO gang. What they always try to convince us is that if you're not in the office you're not AS productive. I didn't realize that now, the standard is that you had to be MORE productive at home than in the office. I thought being equal would be enough but apparently that's not the case anymore. If the productivity is the same, plus all the benefits, then, I still don't see any valid reson for mandatory office days. Make the office available for those who want to use it, and let people work as they wish.
Indeed. However, we know any decision will be based on productivity or net results.
Even on hybrid models, a company doesn't need much office space, which benefits from reduced fixed costs. In some cases, is not an insignificant saving. Startups benefit heavily from "0 cost basis" as many aspects possible of their operational model. From a Financial point of view, having an office for small startups doesn't make sense.
We can name other examples even on the Operational level, where companies benefit from a form of home office. For example, recruitment, since a significant portion, if not the entire process, is done remotely.
