Most hybrid workers (55%) say paying employees more for their in-office work would provide “a lot” of encouragement for them to work in-person more often.
Additional pay topped the list across respondents whether they were working in-person, remotely (44%) or in hybrid (50%) roles.
Regardless, many U.S. employees have returned to in-person work, or had never left.
Most paid employees report that they work in person per NORC's survey, and three-quarters of those in-person employees say they are required by their employer to do so.
The number of people working remotely has fallen significantly since the peak of COVID-19 — but is still far higher than pre-pandemic levels.
