About the Flex Q4 Report

And you thought return to office policy was settled! For a while, it looked like 2-3 days
per week in the office would be the future of work in America.

Yet this quarter has brought significant changes to the landscape. Major companies
like Amazon, Dell, and The Washington Post announced their plans for a full return
to office. Then came a shift in the political atmosphere, with Trump's victory and
potential incoming changes requiring full-time office work for government
employees.

These developments raise important questions about where workplace flexibility is
headed. Are we witnessing the beginning of a broader shift back to Full Time In
Office? Is the era of fully flexible work coming to an end? Or is this simply another
evolution in how companies structure their workplace policies?

In this report, we dig into US-wide trends to see if the high-profile shifts toward Full
Time In Office reflect broader market movement or just isolated cases. We examine
how different industries are approaching flexibility, from Technology’s continued
embrace to the challenges faced by sectors dependent on physical presence. Plus,
we explore the divide in how companies of different sizes approach workplace
flexibility. Are we truly heading back to the office full time, or is the future of work
more nuanced than the headlines suggest?
