Nearly one-third of Americans say they never want to work from home, according to monthly surveys of 30,000 Americans throughout the pandemic.
After Labor Day many Americans were set to return to work in person, but the delta variant forced employers to return to the drawing board to pick a new return-to-work date and decide how many days it makes for employees to come to offices.
“We expect that there will be teams that continue working mostly remotely, others that will work some combination of remotely and in the office, and still others that will decide customers are best served having the team work mostly in the office,” Jassy said. “‘Managers cannot determine anything in isolation without communicating with their direct reports first’”
He too favors the top-down approach. Writing in the Harvard Business Review, he says people could feel excluded, “Employees at home can see glances or whispering in the office conference room but can’t tell exactly what is going on. Even when firms try to avoid this by requiring office employees to take video calls from their desks, home employees have told me that they can still feel excluded.”
Considerations when deciding in-person work days As Alyson, a Cincinnati, Ohio, an administrative assistant in her 20’s who works at a staffing agency, told Marketwatch in July: ““A lot of people are getting promotions — and most of them are in the office. It’s like even though you show up on time to your desk at your home and clock in, and you work all day and you’re doing a lot.”
With that in mind, try to imagine what your busiest, most demanding days look like, Schweber recommended. Would those days be less stressful if more employees were working together in person, or would it not make a difference one way or the other?
