Top Picks
Hand-picked articles, stories and ideas from the remote work community and beyond.
Full return to office isn’t the only work model dying. So is fully remote
Deborah Kong | CNBC
Only 1% of executives in a new EY survey say their employees are fully remote, a stark contrast to 2022, when 34% of respondents said they had a remote workplace model.
Hybrid work is the winner, and 80% of business leaders are confident in the strategy.
Return-to-Office Mandates Are a Disaster for Working Mothers
Joanne Lipman | The Wall Street Journal
Remote work brought record numbers of women into the labor pool. Why give back those gains?
Gen Z is bringing a whole new vibe to the workplace: anxiety
Eve Upton-Clark | Business Insider
From small talk by the coffee machine to presentations over Zoom, the workplace can be a hotbed for anxiety. Pandemic lockdowns, followed by the instability and relentless upheaval of the past several years have heightened these feelings. Remote work, Malcolmson said, “can make everything feel so much more intense.” She added: “It’s much harder for me to mentally let go of any stresses from the day.”
The permanently imperfect reality of hybrid work
Alex Christian | BBC
Hybrid work ticks many boxes – but it’ll never be a one-size-fits-all solution for every worker and company.
Future workplace trends: Are you putting your office to work?
EY
Hybrid work is firmly established, and an expectation of two to three days a week in the office signifies a palpable shift away from fully remote work.
The surprising connection between after-hours work and decreased productivity
Slack
Employees who log off at the end of the workday register 20% higher productivity scores than those who feel obligated to work after hours.
Making time for breaks during the workday improves employee productivity and well-being, and yet half of all desk workers say they rarely or never take breaks.
On average, desk workers say that the ideal amount of focus time is around four hours a day, and more than two hours a day in meetings is the tipping point at which a majority of workers feel overburdened by meetings.
Three out of every four desk workers report working in the 3 to 6pm timeframe, but of those, only one in four consider these hours highly productive.
Who will lead the charge to a four-day work week?
Olivia Olander | POLITICO Magazine
Between the rise of generative artificial intelligence this year and the reckoning of work-life balance that came with the Covid-19 pandemic, efforts to shorten the workweek have accelerated.
Spain is the No. 1 country for digital nomads in 2024—Portugal and Norway also land in the top 10
Celia Fernandez | CNBC
Spain is the best country for digital nomads next year with a score of 4.50 out of 5.
As of 2023, Spain’s remote work visa allows people to live in the country for up to a year as long as they have an income of at least double Spain’s minimum wage, more than €2,600, or $2,750, a month.
