LOS ANGELES — Most bosses remain steadfast in their desire to see their white-collar employees in the office despite many workers' desire to stay home most of the time.
About 85% of companies say they want employees to spend half or more of their work time there, according to a recent national real estate brokerage survey.
But rising and waning surges of COVID-19 keep injecting caution into employers' attitudes about enforcing in-person work, which are still evolving as leaders and workers try to figure out how much time they want to spend in the office and how much room they'll need to do their jobs when they are together.
