Remote Companies Grow Twice as Fast
One of the last big pieces of corporate news in 2024 was AT&T mandating a return-to-office (RTO), requiring all office employees to work from the office five days a week starting in January 2025. AT&T’s announcement comes a few months after Amazon made a similar announcement in September 2024. Since mid-2022, executives have been pushing for RTO policies, citing reasons like building stronger company culture, fostering collaboration, and boosting productivity. However, research has consistently shown that the expected benefits of RTO policies are not always realized. In fact, numerous studies, including our own work at Revelio Labs, have found that remote work is often correlated with higher employee satisfaction, better work-life balance, and even lower attrition rates. We have also shown the benefits of remote work for sub-groups of the labor force, most importantly women. Similarly, other research has highlighted the high turnover for female employees, more senior employees, and more skilled employees as a result of mandating RTO.
