The pandemic made remote work a necessity, and as workplaces return to the new normal, employees are expecting a continuation of remote working perks. Data shows that 10,000 employees reported they were just as productive working from home as they were from their workplace.

As employees trickle back into the office, some employers are ready to keep them going at a 9-to-5 pace while employees may desire a more flexible work schedule. Here’s how to negotiate when employees want to work from home — but you need them in the office.

Other policies include hybrid split-week, hybrid manager-scheduling, and hybrid mix.
