It’s no secret that when it comes to returning to the office, many workers are putting up a fight or quitting altogether — including those in charge.
According to a new Marcum-Hofstra Mid-Market CEO Survey, about 48% of CEOs are back in the office five days a week, while 32% are in the office three days a week or less. Ten percent of CEOs are working remotely a full five days a week.
“Whether it is COVID concerns or the impact of inflation and gas prices, it seems clear that remote work, and a hybrid schedule, in particular, is the sweet spot for many CEOs and businesses,” said K.G. Viswanathan, interim dean of the Zarb School of Business at Hofstra University, in a statement.
