More Hybrid Work Patterns, but Good Reasons for Face-to-Face

The conventional wisdom about knowledge work is that it will be more hybrid in the future.  About 80 percent of 3,200 respondents to a Blind survey say they believe work will, in the future, involve some combination of “in the office” and “remote” work. 

That now is conventional wisdom. But note something else: about 45 percent of respondents said that not being able to get together in person with their team negatively affects their work, including 64 percent at Facebook, 63 percent of Google respondents and 56 percent of Uber respondents. 

For that reason, many of us expect that although more WFH will happen, more frequently, workers will continue to value face-to-face time.
