Flex Report Q2 2023

About the Flex Q2 Report

It's been more than three years since the start of COVID-19 when hundreds of millions of people were first introduced to the experience of working remotely. While many parts of life have returned to pre-pandemic norms, where we work continues to be a hotly debated topic.

In just the last three months, we've seen a slew of announcements from larger companies shifting their office requirements. Disney increased its Minimum Days/Week per requirement to four days. Starbucks mandated corporate employees come into the office three days a week.

Even the big tech companies -- long viewed as the most remote-friendly large companies -- appear to be moving toward more on site work. Amazon, Google, and Lyft all have announced plans to modify their flexible work policies in a push to bring employees back into the workplace at least half the week, and in some cases more.

So what’s happening? Is Fully Remote work vanishing? Is Full time in Office work becoming the norm? Or are these isolated examples that don’t reflect a larger trend?

Since our inaugural Flex Report in February 2023, we’ve added or edited thousands of companies on the Flex Index. We’re tracking the changes across industries, regions, and company sizes, so as a job seeker, you can better understand what to expect when looking for your next career opportunity.
