> A whopping 80% of bosses reported that they regret their initial return-to-office decisions, according to new research from Envoy, which interviewed more than 1,000 U.S. company executives and workplace managers who work in person at least one day per week.
But it's not clear if 80% of the executives...
(a) regretted reducing WFH at all, or
(b) regretted certain details of how they tweaked the policy, e.g. how they communicated it, the number of in-office days required, etc., or
(c) were unhappy about their data's availability, quality, or freshness.
Unfortunately the report from Envoy [0] isn't much clearer:
> 80% of executives say they would have approached their
company’s return-to-office strategy differently if
they had access to workplace data to inform their decision-making.
This is one case where seeing the original questionnaire would be helpful, but I'm not finding a link to it. So it's really hard to decide if Envoy's conclusions are justified.
