In-office or Remote, where does future of work lie and which is more beneficial? Forbes explains this tug of war
There is not an iota of doubt that most working professionals would today opt for working from a comfortable corner in their home as compared to driving or taking a commute to their workplace and be seated in their work stations for hours. As per Forbes, most working professionals today opt for remote work and treat work-life integration as a non-negotiable aspect of their overall well-being. A 2024 report by Forbes quoted data by Scoop Technologies which claimed 38 per cent of companies require full-time in-office work, a move that is being resisted by significant number of employees who prefer the work-life balance offered by a remote work set-up. As per the report, for most employees who prefer remote work, work-life integration has become a non-negotiable aspect of their overall well-being let alone job satisfaction. As per Forbes, several surveys and studies suggest that a growing number of employees would rather quit their jobs than give up the benefits of remote work.
