INFOGRAPHIC: Local Talent is Crucial for Hybrid Work Initiatives

Where people work is one of the most popular—and hottest—topics of workplace conversations across the United States.

Are you remote? Do you have to commute to work every day? Is your company pushing a return-to-office initiative?

No matter your current situation, it’s becoming more clear where we’re headed: toward hybrid work situations for businesses and workplaces who can balance it.

Insight Global found that the overwhelming majority of new job postings at companies around America were for non-remote roles. Many of them were for positions that offered some level of flexibility—both for the employee and the employer. Also, 90% of companies say they plan to have a return-to-office model in play by the end of this year.
