Flex Report | Enterprise Deep Dive
It might surprise you to know how few companies have more than 1,000 employees in the United States! There are 6M+ firms in the US; less than 10k of them have more than 1,000 employees.
At the same time, the enterprise has an outsized impact on total employment. Enterprises employ more than 10% of working Americans and have an even bigger role in establishing policy and best practices. Many small companies aspire one day to be enterprises and often pattern everything from compensation to benefits to business practices off of the behaviors of large employers.
So what’s the current state of flexible work in the enterprise? We compiled data on more than 2,200 US-headquartered enterprises that employ more than 50M people worldwide to see how policy is trending for corporate employees at large companies. We also look at how policy and required days in office vary by size of the enterprise and industry.
Want a sneak peek of what’s in the report? Here’s a little preview👇
82% of US-Headquartered Enterprises Offer Work Location Flexibility
Despite companies like UPS and NCR announcing returns to Full Time In Office, only 18% of enterprises expect five days a week in office for corporate employees.
Fully Remote Companies Make Up Less than 1% of US Enterprises
81% of US-headquartered enterprises have a hybrid work model. 61% are Structured Hybrid, meaning employees are expected to come in a specific amount of time on a weekly or monthly basis. 20% have an Employee’s Choice model, meaning the company has offices, but employees can choose whether and how often to go to the office.
Less than 1% of US-headquartered enterprises are Fully Remote, meaning the company does not have offices at all.
The Average US Enterprise Requires 2.49 days / Week in Office
The majority of enterprises require 2-3 days per week in office. 90% of enterprises with a Minimum Days / Week model required 2-3 days per week.
It is relatively uncommon for enterprises to require employees to work one day a week or four days per week in the office. If you work at a firm with a Structured Hybrid model, you should expect to spend 2-3 days per week in the office.
