Bosses are offering more benefits to workers who show up at the office

The return to duty just might be worth it.

Employees who get off the couch and into the office are rewarded by their bosses. An overwhelming one 86% of US CEOs say “they will reward employees who make the effort to come to the office with favorable assignments, raises or promotions,” according to a survey by consultancy KPMG.

It comes as senior staff “increasingly favor” a complete office makeover but understand the need for flexibility.

“Employees develop faster, learn faster, acquire new skills faster from personal interaction, or personal learning, or personal mentoring, personal development,” KPMG chairman and CEO Paul Knopp told Axios.

He claimed this was especially true for young workers.

However, employees are divided on the belief that the office slide helps to get them ahead.

Only about half of American workers (56%) agree that “people who work in the office have an advantage over those who work 100% remotely when it comes to getting raises, bonuses and promotions,” according to a survey by the American Staffing Association (ASA). ).

And even if entry into the office comes with monetary rewards, a good portion of people just don’t care.

Some 44% of employees would be willing to take a pay cut if it meant they had more freedom to work remotely, the ASA reported.

“How, when and where work will be done in the future is still an open question,” said Richard Wahlquist, president and chief executive officer at ASA.

“Employers are struggling to determine how hybrid and remote work impacts productivity. And employees are trying to determine how the rise of hybrid and remote work will affect their careers, especially now that they are facing economic uncertainty.”

And while some — especially working parents — are still hoping to avoid the office, Gen Z is not just ready, but excited to show up.

Only about 11% of Gen Z workers would prefer to be completely remote, compared to 34% of non-Gen Zers, a report from professional services firm Seramount found.

From posting Get Ready With Me videos modeling their #OfficeSiren and #CorpCore looks to bragging about free snacks, many young adults are excited to be heading to the office.

While these things may seem trivial, experts note that it’s standard behavior for young people joining the workforce — or, really, anyone starting out.

“It was exciting — I was coming from a retail job and it was nice to go to the office,” Julia Quag, 23, told PopSugar. She especially enjoyed dressing up for work and having a steady schedule.

Entering the office has also made Gen Z significantly wilder, attributing their increased sex drive to an improvement in their mental health – 22% of young women cited this as a key sexual drive.

So walking into the office can pay you off and get you fired.

It’s good news for Amazon employees who have been mandated to return to the office five days a week.
