The State of Hybrid Work: How America Is Returning To Work

The Rosslyn BID conducted a national survey to uncover the different ways in which Americans are choosing to work and collaborate as hybrid work remains the new norm out of the pandemic. We will use these findings to help inform and implement innovative solutions as the future of work continues to evolve.

A snapshot of the national study by the Rosslyn BID

While 70% of employees are going into the office as part of their hybrid work schedules, 2 in 5 Americans are using alternative places to work besides the home and office:
