In a notable shift post-pandemic, major companies like Amazon and Tesla are mandating a return to the office, raising tensions with advocates of remote work. A recent KPMG survey revealed that 79% of corporate CEOs expect full in-office roles within three years. Meanwhile, remote job availability in Ireland has plummeted to a four-year low. Despite the push for in-person work, many employees still prefer hybrid or remote roles for their flexibility. As firms navigate this change, striking a balance in workplace policies will be essential for attracting and retaining talent in a competitive job market.
