According to a recent survey, 29 percent of respondents from the United States state that employees should be in the office three days a week to keep a strong company culture. Company culture refers to a set of shared values, goals, and attitudes that characterize an organization. As an increasing number of employees work remotely and from different locations, company culture may be weakened.
