In this episode, we dive into the transformative world of remote work discussing the findings of Stanford economists Nicholas Bloom and Steven Davis, alongside their collaborator Jose Maria Barrero. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, they have been leading crucial research that sheds light on the evolving landscape of work.
Discover how their findings reveal that despite some resistance from companies, work-from-home rates remain steady. Learn about the surprising willingness of employees to accept lower salaries in exchange for the flexibility of remote work. We’ll also discuss how their studies challenge the common belief that working from home diminishes productivity, showing instead that hybrid employees perform just as well as those in traditional office settings.
Join us as we explore the implications of this research on our cities, real estate markets, and the future of business operations. Tune in for insights that could reshape our understanding of work in the post-pandemic world!
