A recent [survey](https://www.littler.com/files/2023_littler_employer_survey_report.pdf) found that 71% of U.S. employers have hybrid work arrangements in 2023, with only 16% requiring in-person work. However, some companies have embraced hybrid work for the long term and are matching it with stricter in-person requirements.

Forty-eight percent of surveyed employers plan to reduce remote work schedules and require more time on-site (at least to a small extent). While 39% will keep work schedules the same and 12% of organizations will offer more flexibility and remote work options.

 

## **Current State**

Remote and hybrid work options are still widely popular for employees.

- 93% said flexibility was top of mind in their current job situation
- 63% of respondents said remote or hybrid options was their primary consideration in accepting a new position
- 42% of remote employees said they would look for other jobs if their employer refused to provide long-term remote options

Employers may leverage job flexibility to combat higher employee turnover and gain a competitive edge in the hiring market.

In the 2021 Pulse of the American Workforce Survey, 41% of employees said they don’t want to work for a fully remote company. They cited feelings of disconnect and pressure to always be online. Many reported taking less time off and working longer hours.

 

## **Employer Takeaway**

Employers should continue to monitor workforce trends and employee desires when determining the proper arrangements for their organizations. [Download the bulletin](https://blog.nisbenefits.com/hubfs/blog-supporting-docs/bulletin-ers-embracing-hybrid-work.pdf) for more information.
