Nearly two thirds of CEOs think staff could return to the office five days a week in the next three years, according to KPMG’s latest CEO Outlook report.
The report, which surveyed more than 1,300 CEOs from some of the world’s largest businesses, found that 64% of business leaders anticipate a full return to the office within the next three years.
The majority of CEOs (87%) also said that were likely to reward employees who make an effort to come into the office with favourable assignments, salary increases and promotions.
KPMG said that as organisations roll out their return-to-office plans, it is “crucial that leaders take a long-term view that embraces the employee value proposition and encompasses the considerations and needs of employees to ensure that talent is nurtured and supported”.
Nhlamu Dlomu, global head of people at KPMG International, added: “The war for talent may have softened in this period of economic uncertainty, but the evidence suggests a one-size-fits-all approach to return-to-office could be detrimental.”
