  • Around the world, people are deciding whether they should return to their workplaces once offices reopen.
  • New results from employee survey and people analytics site Perceptyx show that only 4% of over 750,000 workers from over 100 global companies across major industries want to return to their office full time after the pandemic.
  • This number has been significantly dropping since survey results from April. At the start of that month, 33% reported they wanted to return.
  • The survey found that as willingness to return has declined, there's been a spike in how productive employees feel. At the end of June, about 100% of survey respondents said "my remote work environment enables me to work productively."
  • A growing list of major companies have announced employees can permanently work from home, such as Twitter and Square.
  • Business Insider recently talked to career experts about how to talk to your boss about continuing remote work forever. This includes bringing evidence that you have "better performed" since working from home and how you plan to maintain this quality of work.
