Interesting academic report on why working from home will stick post pandemic. bfi.uchicago.edu/wp-content/upl… 
Who wants to work from home (or remotely) and for how long. 64% 2 or more days a week.
But employers are not so keen. Correlates with earnings. The more you earn the more your employer will allow you to work remotely. / Does that suggest employers need to update their thinking?
And also the more you earn the more you value working remotely. But then it’s easier to give a bit back from large incomes.
Overall productivity grows with widespread remote working.
And city centre spending in major cities drops 5-10%.
Overall they reckon remote working will more than quadruple - from 5 to 22%. Which feels to me like an underestimate amongst the top tier companies. But, on average, is plausible. Averages though are deceptive.
‘The average worker, by contrast, would like to work from home 44.0 (0.4) percent of the time, or about two full days per week.’ Twice as much as employers. Feeling a disconnect here:)
The best companies, with the most ‘talent’, and the best digital capabilities, are surely going to operate closer to employees wishes? We shall see, but I suspect this divide will become clear. And ‘talent’ will gravitate ever more strongly to where it is most valued.
