In a survey on hybrid work policy, members were asked about how their organizations currently approach hybrid work, if there is a change in requirement for staff to be in-office and why, days required in-office, whether member organizations have a universal rule or different rules based on department or seniority, benefits, and monitoring, and more.

  • Four out of 10 firms currently require four days in the office, up from 22% six months ago.
  • In six months, 66% of firms expect at least four days and over 90% at least three days in-office.
