After years of successfully and productively working from home, employees now live in fear of return-to-office mandates. Will the battle between RTO and WFH ever end? 

In 2023, only 22% of employees wanted to work full-time from the office, according to a recent report from tech company Owl Labs. And yet, 66% of professionals are now required to do so. Which begs the question: How are leaders actually making their policies? 

Even before the pandemic, Owl Labs prided itself on having a hybrid set-up that prioritized flexibility, with at least 40% of the company working remotely at any given time. 

“This wasn’t new territory for us,” says Weishaupt. “I sign every offer letter and many new hires have not been located near our Boston HQ. It was a no-brainer to allow our employees to continue working in a hybrid model post-pandemic. My priority is that Owl Labs employees feel supported and respected so that we can be as efficient as possible.”
