NEED TO KNOW

Remote work headlines:

• 1 in 3 millennials are ignoring return-to-office demands.

• Veeva, a software company in the life sciences industry (and featured above this week), has firmly rejected any RTO policies, successfully sticking with remote work.

• A study by MIT and the University of California at San Diego finds that digital surveillance software is a poor substitute for engaging managers.

• Despite headlines about big companies like JPMorgan calling workers back into the office, the shift to office work isn’t as drastic as it seems.

• Employees’ distance from the office continues to be a measuring tool for how much time is required in the office, but varies substantially by company.

• A JPMorgan analyst was fired after asking CEO Jamie Dimon during a recent town hall if he would consider letting lower-level managers dictate office policies; he was re-hired shortly after.

• Walmart is closing more offices and forcing more white-collar workers to relocate to accommodate their office policies.

• TikTok employees are balking at the return-to-office policy for their e-commerce division, which now requires employees to be in their office 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, tracked via their badges.

STATS

31.6%

That’s the percentage of employees who, according to WFH Research’s February data, said they would be willing to strike over the ability to work from home.

Surveyed employees were asked the question, “Would you be willing to start or join a strike over any of the following job features?”

And while pay is clearly number one, the ability to work from anywhere remains a benefit that many are adamant about maintaining.

LEADERSHIP

Advice and trends for managers:

• Harvard Business Review shares research that dictates the best ways to monitor remote employees to build trust and boost productivity.

• Forbes shares tips on how to lead high performing teams. Among them: measure results, not time.

• What hiring managers need to know about the labor market in 2025.

• According to HR Dive, half of managers are expecting layoffs in 2025.

• A potential “manager crash” this year could lead to many displaced managers, and new ones trying to pick up the pieces.
