Office workers across all generations largely preferred a hybrid working model, according to the findings of a survey conducted across 28,000 full-time employees across 27 markets worldwide in 2022. Baby boomers were slightly more in favor of working from the office full time, but still, only about 11 percent of the respondents chose this option, compared to 68.3 that favored hybrid work and 20.5 that favored fully remote work. The youngest generation, Gen Z, was the least likely to prefer working from the office.
