Our first quarterly research deep-dive is here!
We've been collecting research, trends, and case studies on flexible work for years. It's data that helps when a Chief People Officer reaches out, often starting with "our CEO saw the latest headline and is thinking maybe it's time to call everyone back."
These conversations require real data, not just headlines. That's why we've compiled roughly 75 slides of comprehensive trends and research—and now paid subscribers get exclusive access.
What's in the research package:
Policy trends: The latest Flex Index data on what companies are actually doing
Real utilization data: What's happening in offices from academics like Nick Bloom's team, plus commercial real estate companies
RTO mandate research: The latest findings on impacts and outcomes
Flexibility benefits and challenges: Data-backed insights on productivity, culture, connection, and innovation
What works: Case studies from companies successfully navigating flexibility
We’ll update this every quarter as we go forward!
Why we made this paid-subscriber only: This level of research takes significant time and resources to maintain. The workplace flexibility landscape changes constantly, and staying on top of academic studies, commercial real estate data, and policy trends requires dedicated effort. Your paid subscriptions allow us to keep delivering these deep, actionable insights.
Here are a few highlights:
Are startups all back to in-person work?
While Fortune 500 companies are most likely to have increased return-to-office demands this year, newer companies remain flex natives. The future is more flexible.
Is everyone coming back? What’s happening with office occupancy?
Multiple data sources show actual office occupancy is trending close to flat:
Are people more productive?
When it comes to productivity, remote-worker studies vary widely but generally tie to whether companies manage for results. Hybrid team studies consistently show they outperform full-time office work—and sometimes fully remote work.
What level of in-person time is required to build connection and healthy cultures?
Culture and connection aren't just about the office anymore. Regular team gatherings matter, but there are multiple ways to achieve connection.
What are the benefits and drawbacks of RTO mandates?
RTO mandates hurt employee engagement and retention of key talent. No positive financial or stock performance benefits have been discovered.
There are better paths forward—team-centered approaches versus top-down mandates or individual free-for-alls. The deck gets into that too!
