It was recently reported that in 2023, 50% of companies want workers back in the office five days a week. However, most of the workforce doesn't want to return to the office full time. So, how do companies end this tug-of-war between the C-suite and its people? By listening to what workers want. And, with the latest data from Achievers Workforce Institute (AWI) finding that 85% of employees prefer hybrid or remote working options, it's clear what modern workforces want: autonomy and flexibility in how they work.  Therefore, moving into the new year, business and HR leaders that are diligent in building out workplace models that are autonomous and flexible will witness stronger performance, stronger trust, and stronger loyalty from their workforce.
