Some companies, such as JPMorgan and Amazon, have mandated that hybrid workers return five days a week. Meanwhile, office attendance in the insurance industry is at 59% of pre-pandemic levels. Among the other trends cited by Forbes:

Sixty percent of remote workers said their employers are requiring more time in the office, according to data from TopResume.
Twenty-eight percent of workers, up from 19%, reported to Bevi that expectations for in-office work had risen to three or more days per week.
Forty percent of workers are required to be in the office five days a week, according to Bevi’s qualitative employee survey. This is reinforced by data from TopResume in which 38% of employees said they are required to be in the office five days a week.
Twenty-two percent of companies report they have returned to a fully in-office approach, and another 5% expect to mandate the same this year, according to Resume Template data.
In-office attendance has reached 66% of pre-pandemic levels according to a separate report from Bevi, which is based on quantitative usage data
Although expectations for in-office time are rising, the Bevi survey also found that 80% of employees believe their organization’s RTO requirements are fair.

“As leaders establish return-to-office mandates and expectations, they are wise to consider both organizational needs and the results they’re trying to drive -- as well as their talent markets,” Forbes concluded. “And of course, they should consider impacts on employees. The landscape of work continues to evolve—and it’s likely that while RTO mandates are expanding, hybrid work will be here to stay as well.”
