Summary
A new study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that millennial and Gen Z bosses are more likely to allow remote work, and as they take over, working from home is set to become the norm again. The study tracked 8,000 US workers and found that employees at younger firms and under younger CEOs spend more time working from home. The researchers predict that as older leaders retire, the days of full-time office work will fade. Younger bosses are also more likely to adopt new technologies and software-driven approaches to running their teams.
Our Reading
The numbers tell one story. Millennials and Gen Z bosses are changing the game with flexible work arrangements. As they take over, the office cubicle will become a relic of the past. The study found that CEOs under 30 allow the most remote work, and younger firms are more likely to adopt new technologies. The future of work is digital-first, and companies that cling to old ways will be left behind. Forget about where people are working, CEOs who don’t embrace AI will be the losers.
