Even nearly four years on from the pandemic, many companies are still grappling with a fundamental mismatch between the workers who prefer to work from home and the bosses who prefer a standard amount of in-person work. It’s led to cratering retention, productivity, and morale—but picking any one kind of work arrangement for everyone isn't quite the fix.
That’s according to a new report from corporate wellness platform Gympass in conjunction with Northwell Health on the “State of Work-Life Wellness.” Their survey of 5,000-plus full-time workers didn’t reveal a clear answer to the question of where today’s “best place to work” actually is. Instead, the spread was fairly even among workers who preferred remote, hybrid, and in-office work. That showed that the key for mental wellness, rather than location itself, is the ability to choose.
