Tech workers who now work remotely say that companies need to sweeten the pot to make them return to full-time work in the office.<\/p>\n
65% said it would require an increase of 20% or more to have them back in the office from Monday to Friday, and 6% said that no amount of money would make them return to the office completely.<\/p>\n
According to software company Eden’s ‘Where Tech Works’ report, tech workers choose hybrid work for three main reasons: flexibility for at-home responsibilities (37%); flexibility for childcare and\/or other family member care (28%); and the position that the commute to the office wastes too much time (22%).<\/p>\n
The survey conducted by Eden outlined the attitudes of different age groups toward full-time office work, hybrid work model, or full-time remote work. Generation Z age range preferred full-time office work, and 42% of baby boomer-age tech workers chose full-time remote work as the ideal form of work.<\/p>\n
Gen Z’ers decision is driven by a desire to establish work-based connections with other employees and help them manage their growth quickly. Older employees who have already acquired these connections prefer completely remote work setups.<\/p>\n
Gen X’ers and Millennials prefer a hybrid work style. 50% of Millennials and 47% of Gen X’ers favor this option because it allows them to take responsibility at home while continuing to try to build their personal careers.<\/p>\n
