By 9 am ET, more than 75,000 Kaiser workers plan to join picket lines, marking the largest health care strike in US history. In the wake of pandemic, however, health care workers in particular have been fighting for safer and more secure work environments. Many health care employees are set to join the picket lines, including nursing staff, dietary workers, receptionists, optometrists, and pharmacists. Kaiser Permanente “members” pay dues to the organization to gain access to Kaiser Permanente’s wide-ranging health care services. The increased number of health care strikes have happened despite health care workers making up only about 9% of private sector union members nationwide.

A higher share of hybrid workers are stressed or burned out in the past year than fully remote workers, Deloitte found.

Just over a third of hybrid workers also felt they didn't really have enough time for wellness, while almost a quarter of fully remote workers felt like this. A quarter of hybrid workers said they felt disconnected from their on-site colleagues compared to 13% of fully remote workers. Similarly, almost a quarter of hybrid workers felt there was ineffective collaboration happening compared to 9% of fully remote workers.

But in a survey of Fortune 500 chief human resource offices, they found a mismatch between what CHROs think employees want for their work schedule and what employees actually want. "For the past couple years, leaders have been working hard to woo remote workers back into the office," Pendell said. "That's likely put blender types in the forefront of their minds, even if blenders aren't necessarily the same as remote workers."

Many companies with remote or hybrid workforces use tracking software to monitor their workers. An MIT lecturer said tracking hours wasn't a good productivity measure. As office attendance and productivity tracking become increasingly common, more companies are using it to evaluate, discipline, and even fire employees. About three-quarters of respondents in the ResumeBuilder.com survey said they had fired employees based on findings from their tracking software. But if US companies are truly concerned about maximizing their employees' productivity, some of them may be doing it all wrong.

The company began notifying employees in June of the coming change, which will not impact Meta's current roster of remote workers.

In London, a politician wrote not-so-subtle notes to remote workers last year, hoping to persuade them to spend more time in the office: “Sorry you were out when I visited,” Jacob Rees-Mogg, then a government minister, recalled writing in messages left on the desks of Cabinet Office staff members who were working from home. When the coronavirus pandemic took hold in 2020, many industries across the world shifted to remote or hybrid work. It was an immense experiment that yielded different results for different cities — with long-term standoffs between executives and workers in some cases, and a sweeping return to the office in others. Whether a person is more likely to do work at a cubicle in a big office tower or on the living room couch now depends on where in the world those cubicles and couches are. Many Asian countries have lower levels of remote work than countries in Europe and North America.

Continuing remote and hybrid work, at levels remarkably unchanged from two years ago, is enabling people to move toward housing affordability, the study found. At the beginning of the year, 22% of remote and hybrid workers said they would be willing to relocate to a different region or increase their commute. The research showed that among remote workers, all age and income groups have grown more willing to relocate or live farther away from their workplace since 2021. This is good news for remote workers during a time of crushingly low levels of home affordability. The researchers say the change to the housing market brought about by remote workers holds broader implications for the link between housing and the labor market.
