A third of bosses/executives want employees back to keep track of them

The average manager lacks the skillset to motivate remote employees to do their best work. The evidence? The Fiverr return to office study. Findings:

67% of Managers at large companies want employees in the office 5 days a week 🤯

Why?

1/3 of managers believe employees are more motivated when they are being 👀 WATCHED 👀 by management
1/4 of managers believe employees in the office take shorter breaks (as if breaks are detrimental to productivity)
1/4 of managers want employees back full time to justify their past real estate investments

The ROI program trains managers to be better, more confident hybrid team leaders.

Study Findings

What could an extra $12,000 a year do for you?

Recent data from FlexJobs reveals that working remotely on a full-time basis could result in annual savings of up to $12,000. That's a lot of extra money to stick in your bank account. Where do those savings come from?

For one thing, working remotely all the time means not having to commute. That could, in turn, mean ditching a car if you only need one to get to and from the office, or spending less to fuel and maintain a vehicle. Working remotely on a full-time basis might even result in lower auto insurance premiums.
Then there's savings on clothing. When you work in an office, you need to maintain a decent rotation of professional attire. And even if your office dress code is casual, you probably don't want to show up wearing the same pair of stained pants five days in a row. When you work remotely all the time, there's less of a need to spend money on clothing.
Finally, when you work from home, you can raid your own kitchen during the day when you need a caffeine fix or get hungry for lunch. Compare that to the cost of buying coffee at a local cafe or buying lunch, and it's easy to see where the savings can really add up.
