Employees Are Quitting Instead of Giving Up Working From Home

Bloomberg (06/01/2021)
  • As the pandemic recedes and Corporate America is re-opening more offices, more workers are quitting in response.
  • While many employees have grown accustomed to constant work-from-home flexibility, some executives such as Jamie Dimon (JP Morgan) lament that it diminishes optimal collaboration.
  • Surveys show that 39% of office workers would consider quitting if their employers stopped offering remote work; this figure spikes to 49% for millennial and Gen-Z workers.
  • Top benefits employees cited for remote work are lack of commute and overall cost-savings.
