Looking actually at trends in terms of the numbers, US salaries are higher for in office jobs. What are you thoughts? #remotework #hybrid #ussalaries #onsiteworking https://lnkd.in/ei4YnmZG

This statistic tells us two things. Employees are already accustomed to working remotely and are not ready to return to the office for the same money. Some employers still want to bring employees back and are willing to overpay for it. But I still think offices will never be as full as before 2019. #Remote #Corporate

It's been really interesting to see the evolution of remote working since COVID, only to see firms reverse their stance on this and require employees to be in office 5 days a week, now more than ever. Getting back to speaking to candidates every day and getting to grips with what they value more has been interesting; Money vs Flexibility? Typically, the younger demographic prefer in office and will sacrifice flexibility for earnings, makes sense if you're starting off your career, be surrounded by people who know their trade, learn and earn. As of Jan 2024, 29% of all paid workdays were still worked from home. The reality is, if firms are 5 days in office, they're just going to have to pay more - ironically, to "incentivize" employees to rock up to the office every day of the week. This is probably why Big Tech did so well during the pandemic, higher salaries/stock packages, fully remote - it left financial services firms having to play catch up and compete more than they ever have financially. I do believe that firms who are in office 5 days a week have to sell their value proposition/USP harder to attain and retain the best talent. Curious to see how this plays out this year and to hear your thoughts... https://lnkd.in/gZUxs3ei

“I’m looking for a fully remote role.” I find myself listening to opposite ends of the onsite vs. remote/hybrid conversation several times per week. By and large candidates want a remote/hybrid situation, while companies want all or the majority of time from the office. However, the reality on the ground right now is that these roles are becoming more scarce. What are some of the more compelling reasons (because not all reasons are compelling) to consider are a companies’ reasons for wanting a return to office? 1. Collaboration and Innovation: For all the improvements in remote work tools, spontaneous brainstorming and impromptu discussions that lead to positive outcomes happen more often in person. 2. Company Culture and Social Bonds: It almost goes without saying that a shared environment fosters social bonds and connectivity. A team lunch, for example, can go a long way towards building…team. 3. Leadership and Mentorship Opportunities: So many of the soft skills we all need to develop as part of our career advancement happen through countless interactions and observations that take place in person. There are so many good reasons for companies to have a flexible approach to the in-office/remote/hybrid discussion, but flexibility is key on both sides.

Interesting to see US companies paying nearly 30% more for fully in-office roles compared to fully remote 💰 The recent shift by some US firms to incentivise in-office work has certainly sparked a debate. At face value, a 30% salary increase for those willing to commute and work from the office five days a week raises the question: is the trade-off worth it? Personally, could the promise of a heftier paycheck tempt you back into the traditional 9-5 office routine? This isn't merely about finances; it's also about weighing up work-life balance, commuting stresses, and personal effectiveness. On the flip side, as a business leader, would you consider a financial uplift as an effective lever to encourage a buzzing office environment? Sure, presence can foster collaboration, but the cost-to-benefit ratio must be justifiable. Would love to hear your thoughts! 🤔 #FutureOfWork #InOfficeVsRemote #SalaryDebate

🔢 Data from ZipRecruiter shows US salaries for fully in-office roles have surged by more than 33% to $82,037, outpacing hybrid and remote positions. 📊 While firms like Boeing, UPS, and JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chase mandate full-time office presence, the premium on in-office work raises concerns. ⁉ Why forcing people to come back to the office when other leading companies like GitLab and Remote thrive fully remote? Often the excuse is innovation and creativity, but, who do you think is most innovative? JPMorgan Chase & Co. or GitLab? 😅 🏢💡 Is this the future we want, or should we advocate for the flexibility that has defined the modern workforce? 🤔 The trend is clear: flexibility might come at a cost, but should it? 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d8xgsCT6 #jobmarket #salarytrends #inoffice #remote #hybrid #flexiblework #workculture #futureofwork #boeing #ups #jpmorganchase #ziprecruiter #labormarket #worklifebalance #economicstrends #remotework

Does it pay to work in-office? Maybe... US workers who changed from fully remote jobs to fully in-office roles through last year saw their pay jump 29.2%. That's almost twice the pay increase people who when from in-office to remote roles received, according to data from ZipRecruiter. What are your thoughts on this stat? Would you take a salary increase to head back to the office? Or are remote options and flexibility (whether by choice or circumstance) more important to you? Is there a middle ground? https://lnkd.in/dDTS-pAc? #remotework #careercoach #workfromhome #salarytrends #inofficejobs

ZipRecruiter data has shown that workers who swapped from fully remote to fully in-office set-ups in the US received a 29.2% pay increase. The notion of being compensated more to work in-office full time is starting to gain some traction, but is this a step forwards for employers, or a step back?   This article raises a lot of legitimate questions for HR professionals, most notably: - What are these employers ultimately hoping to achieve by paying this premium? - Will this offering enable them to attract and retain the best talent? - Are they risking competitors delivering their services at a lower cost, as they can attract and retain high quality employees who can deliver the same services for less?   Much like the infamous King Cnut, who wrongly believed he could change the tide to act in his favor, is it possible that these employers might meet a similar fate?   Let us know your thoughts in the comments below ⬇ #inofficeworking #hybridworking #remoteworking #retention https://lnkd.in/eqvwssKv
