This New Hybrid Work Study Could Help Reconcile The War Over Work From Home

The long-simmering debate over whether remote work hurts productivity or dampens worker performance has reached the peak of academic prestige: A study in the journal Nature.
Leaders eager to get workers back to the office often believe it leads to things like lower worker output and an erosion of workplace culture. But a new paper to be published Wednesday in the leading academic journal by Stanford University economist Nicholas Bloom and his co-authors suggests new evidence for advantages to hybrid schedules. A randomized controlled trial of employees in a tech firm based in China found that two days of work from home and three days in the office reduced quit rates, improved job satisfaction and had no impact on performance, when compared with employees who worked full-time in the office.
