Uncertainty Reigns About the Start of the Hybrid Work Era and More HR Tech News PHOTO: Annie Spratt on Unsplash The industry talk has been incessant that remote work is here to stay. According to PwCâs latest U.S. Remote Work Survey, more than half of U.S. executives (52%) believe employee productivity has gone up since before the pandemic. More than a third of their workers agree. At the same time, many aspects of what post-pandemic work will look like are in flux. For example, fewer than 20% of company leaders want to return to the office as it was before COVID-19. However, only 13% are ready to give up their offices completely. But if employers and employees lack a clear view of how work will get done going forward, most agree some type of hybrid approach will take root, with workers spending some time in the office and some time outside of it.
