The \u2018Great Wait\u2019 is Costing Companies Millions"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><em>HR expert speaks to the cost of remote work, and reveals new findings from the Employco 2021 Return to Work Survey <\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/images\/blog\/Blog_WFH-Survey-Results.jpg\" alt=\"Employco WFH Survey Results\" width=\"400\" height=\"268\" \/>A new survey has found that over 65% of companies have delayed their plans to return to the office due to COVID variants. The decision to stay remote, which is being called \u2018The Great Wait,\u2019 could wind up costing American businesses <em>hundreds of millions<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Rob Wilson, employment trends expert and President of Employco USA, a national employment solutions firm with locations around the country, comments on this breaking news.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoogle has just delayed their return to the office until January 2022,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cOther companies like Facebook, Starbucks, Amazon, and Apple have released similar timelines. Sadly, however, this abundance of caution may end up being very costly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Wilson says that around 4.7 million Americans are currently working from home, but data reveals that those who WFH full-time are 70% less productive than workers who are back in the office. Employco USA, which led a nationwide \u2018Return to Work\u2019 survey, found that employers are beginning to feel the pangs of WFH employees and their decrease in productivity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe surveyed 3,000 companies, which together employ over 10,000 employees,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cOur findings show that only 9.5% of employers say that WFH employees are more productive than in-person workers, whereas the majority still believe that in-person workers are more productive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson says this can be attributed to burnout after over 1.5 years out of the office, with many employees becoming increasingly disengaged and dissatisfied in their roles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany workers have just hit the wall when it comes to their ability to work from home indefinitely,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cCompanies keep moving the goalpost and it\u2019s starting to feel as though the \u2018new normal\u2019 is always going to mean working from home in your pajamas. Without being in-office, those opportunities for growth, promotion, bonuses, and other incentives just aren\u2019t there. Employees miss out not only on the connection with their fellow workers and managers, but they miss out on being mentored and being truly seen and valued for their work. So, it\u2019s no wonder that people are beginning to \u2018phone it in\u2019 on a mass scale. Sadly, it\u2019s going to really impact companies\u2019 profits as well as the economy overall, not to mention, individual career growth and development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more on this topic and the full survey results, please contact Rob Wilson at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:rwilson@thewilsoncompanies.com\">rwilson@thewilsoncompanies.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HR expert speaks to the cost of remote work, and reveals new findings from the Employco 2021 Return to Work Survey A new survey has found that over 65% of companies have delayed their plans to return to the office&hellip;  <\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/blog\/2021\/10\/07\/time-to-get-off-zoom-the-great-wait-is-costing-companies-millions\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-coronavirus"],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Employco USA","author_link":"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/blog\/author\/employcousa\/"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\r\n<title>Time to Get Off Zoom?
