HireQuest Inc (Nasdaq:HQI) has released a report titled 'Navigating Remote and Hybrid Work: Impacts on U.S. Companies and the Economy', highlighting the complexities of remote work and return-to-work strategies. The report reveals contradictions between executive preferences and actual productivity data. While 86% of executives want employees to return to workplaces for improved productivity, studies show that remote work can increase productivity by 13%.

The report suggests that hybrid workplace strategies might be a more effective solution, balancing the benefits of both remote and in-office work. HireQuest CEO Rick Hermanns emphasizes the importance of case-by-case consideration for hybrid work structures. The whitepaper also examines the economic impacts of remote work, including decreased downtown foot traffic, lower local tax revenues, and increased demand for suburban housing.

HireQuest Inc (Nasdaq:HQI) ha pubblicato un rapporto intitolato 'Navigare nel Lavoro Remoto e Ibrido: Impatti sulle Aziende e sull'Economia Statunitense', che evidenzia le complessità del lavoro remoto e delle strategie di ritorno al lavoro. Il rapporto rivela contraddizioni tra le preferenze dei dirigenti e i dati reali sulla produttività. Anche se l'86% dei dirigenti desidera che i dipendenti tornino nei luoghi di lavoro per migliorare la produttività, studi dimostrano che il lavoro remoto può aumentare la produttività del 13%.

Il rapporto suggerisce che strategie di lavoro ibrido potrebbero essere una soluzione più efficace, bilanciando i vantaggi sia del lavoro remoto che di quello in ufficio. Il CEO di HireQuest, Rick Hermanns, sottolinea l'importanza di considerazioni specifiche caso per caso per le strutture di lavoro ibrido. Il whitepaper esamina anche gli impatti economici del lavoro remoto, tra cui la diminuzione del traffico pedonale nei centri urbani, minori entrate fiscali locali e l'aumento della domanda di abitazioni nei sobborghi.

El informe revela contradicciones entre las preferencias de los ejecutivos y los datos reales de productividad. Aunque el 86% de los ejecutivos quiere que los empleados regresen a los lugares de trabajo para mejorar la productividad, los estudios demuestran que el trabajo remoto puede aumentar la productividad en un 13%.

El informe sugiere que estrategias de trabajo híbrido podrían ser una solución más efectiva, equilibrando los beneficios del trabajo remoto y del trabajo en la oficina. Rick Hermanns, CEO de HireQuest, enfatiza la importancia de considerar cada caso de manera individual para las estructuras de trabajo híbrido.

Le rapport révèle des contradictions entre les préférences des dirigeants et les données de productivité réelles.

Der Bericht offenbart Widersprüche zwischen den Präferenzen der Führungskräfte und den tatsächlichen Produktivitätsdaten. Während 86 % der Führungskräfte möchten, dass die Mitarbeiter zur Verbesserung der Produktivität an den Arbeitsplatz zurückkehren, zeigen Studien, dass Remote-Arbeit die Produktivität um 13 % steigern kann.

Der Bericht legt nahe, dass hybride Arbeitsplatzstrategien eine effektivere Lösung sein könnten, die Vorteile der Remote- und Büroarbeit ausbalancierend. Der CEO von HireQuest, Rick Hermanns, betont die Bedeutung der Einzelfallbetrachtung für hybride Arbeitsstrukturen. Das Whitepaper untersucht auch die wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen der Remote-Arbeit, einschließlich des Rückgangs des Fußgängerverkehrs in Innenstädten, geringerer lokaler Steuereinnahmen und einer erhöhten Nachfrage nach Wohnraum in den Vororten.

HireQuest reports remote work and return-to-work strategies are more complicated than many executives and employees acknowledge.

GOOSE CREEK, S.C., Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- HireQuest Inc (Nasdaq:HQI), a global staffing and talent management company with more than 500 franchises around the world, has released a report detailing the complexities of remote work and return-to-work mandates. The whitepaper, Navigating Remote and Hybrid Work: Impacts on U.S. Companies and the Economy, provides an in-depth view of these complex topics.

The report shows that data doesn't always align with company beliefs. For example, 86% of executives say they want employees to return to workplaces to improve productivity. One survey cited by HireQuest shows that 85% of managers simply don't trust their employees to remain productive while working from home.

Despite these concerns, data shows that moving workers from the office to the home can increase productivity by 13%. When Stanford surveyed remote employees, 53% said they could focus better at home, and up to 29% said they're more productive while working from home.

These contradictions likely mean employers and employees should consider more flexible, hybrid workplace strategies.

"Hybrid structures seem to give everyone what they want. Requirements to spend some time in the office don't hurt the productivity gained from at-home work. What hybrid work looks like, however, could differ tremendously depending on the organization. It's important to take it on a case-by-case basis," says HireQuest CEO Rick Hermanns. "We see the information shared in this report key for our franchises to be informed and share with their clients as leaders in the people business."

Remote Work's Impact on the Economy

The HireQuest white paper also examines how shifting paradigms affect the economy. Some findings show that remote work has:

  • Decreased foot traffic in downtown areas
  • Lowered local tax revenues
  • Decreased demand for office supplies
  • Lowered revenues from parking fees, public transportation, and commuter taxes
  • Increased demand for suburban housing
  • Stressed suburban infrastructure
