Is everyone going back to the office yet?
Time|June 12, 2023
YOU MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT THAT BY MID-2023, WITH THE pandemic officially over, people would be getting back to the office. But the share of workers in the office full time dropped to 42% in the second quarter of 2023, down from 49% in the first quarter, according to the Flex Report, which collects insights from more than 4,000 companies employing more than 100 million people globally. Meanwhile, the share of offices with hybrid work arrangements hit 30% in the quarter, up from 20% the previous quarter.

Is everyone going back to the office yet?

"It certainly looks like hybrid is gaining share," says Robert Sadow, the CEO and co-founder of Scoop Technologies, which puts out the Flex Report.

Work is moving toward what Sadow calls "structured hybrid," in which there are a set number of days that people are required to come into the office. The average minimum days required is 2.53, with both two days and three days being popular. Tuesday is the most popular day required, followed by Wednesday and Thursday. Few offices require a Friday presence, and only 24% require a Monday presence.
