Forty-percent of workers say they would look for a new, more flexible job if they no longer had the option for hybrid or fully remote work.
The massive transition to remote work has allowed professionals and companies to discover and embrace its benefits. As a result, many companies are adopting hybrid and remote work models for the long term, and according to FlexJobs’ Work Insights Survey, 95% of working professionals say they want remote work in some form—whether hybrid or fully remote.
A Gallup survey found that five in 10 full-time U.S. employees have jobs that can be performed remotely. While six in 10 employees with remote-capable jobs prefer hybrid work, approximately one in three prefer fully remote work. Conversely, fewer than 10% want on-site work.
According to Robert Half, 61% of workers stated that they’re more likely to apply for jobs with remote or hybrid work options. Moreover, 4 in 10 workers said they planned to look for a new job in search of permanent remote work.
Despite the demand for remote and hybrid work, Owl Labs found that one in four workers (25%) said their employer changed its remote or hybrid work policy in the past year. However, three-quarters (75%) of workers believe return-to-office mandates are due to traditional work expectations, and 40% of workers say they would look for a new, more flexible job if they no longer had the option to work hybrid or fully remote.
