People who work from the office have a decided edge on those who don’t, according to a new survey of CEOs.
Why it matters: Companies like Amazon are requiring staff to come back to the office, while others are still giving the option to continue remote work.
Driving the news: 86% of CEOs say “they will reward employees who make an effort to come into the office with favorable assignments, raises or promotions,” according to a survey by consultancy KPMG of 400 U.S. CEOs.
● “Employees develop faster, learn faster, gain new skills faster by in-person interaction, or in-person learning, or in-person mentoring, in-person development,” KPMG U.S. chair and CEO Paul Knopp tells Axios.
● Young workers, in particular, are more likely to want to work from the office, he said.
Employees have noticed that people going to the office in person have an edge.
56% of American workers agree that “people working in-office have an advantage over those working 100% remotely when it comes to getting raises, bonuses and promotions,” according to a survey by the American Staffing Association.
Yes, but: Hybrid work — in which workers spend part of their time in the office and part at home — isn’t going away, Knopp said.
● CEOs are “still going to give employees a lot of flexibility,” he said.
