Companies demanding people back to the office could see more employees leave their jobs soon, according to a new report from the ADP Research Institute.
"It's not just that people want to work from their houses – they might have spotty WiFi, and not everyone wants to stare at dirty dishes while they're trying to focus," Richardson says."But people have gotten used to having more autonomy over their work the past two years, whether it's being able to pick their kids up from daycare or going to doctor's appointments without having to ask for time off.
Resistance to returning to the office full-time is even stronger among younger employees: About 71% of 18-to 24-year-olds said that they would consider looking for another job if their company insisted on them returning to the office full-time, compared to 61% of 35- to 44-year-olds and 56% of 45- to 54-year-olds, the report found.that remote work is failing young employees without explaining why they're not showing up to the office in the first place.
Remote work feels more natural, and less intimidating for young employees, Richardson explains, because they've grown up with technology. It's embedded in their social fabric, their school curriculum, their hobbies. That's why companies need to"move beyond catered lunches and ping pong tables to get young people back to the office," Richardson adds. Instead, managers need to focus on creating an engaging office environment where employees can get valuable mentorship from higher-ups and participate in team bonding activities with their co-workers.
"There's a new need for companies to evolve because of this tight labor market," she says."Employees need to feel like they're personally benefiting from waking up earlier and commuting to the office – that it's really worth it, or they'll leave."
