With employers continuing to figuring out the balance between in-person, remote, and hybrid workplace post-COVID-19 lockdowns, a business consultation firm says flexibility may be the best route to take.

Mike Shekhtman, a senior regional manager with Robert Half says remote jobs are here to stay, citing 85 per cent of respondents of a recent study said they are interested in hybrid or fully remote positions.

He adds that being in the office still has its benefits, with two-thirds of professionals noting they have more effective relationships with colleagues whom they’ve met face-to-face versus those who have not.

Regardless of where people get their job done, Shekhtman says those who work where and when they are most productive are putting in more hours and have reported higher job satisfaction.
