Offices Remain Empty

Many businesses are finding that their office spaces are not even half full despite significant efforts to encourage employees to return to work.

Key Details

  • Following campaigns to encourage employees back to the office, employers still find that their offices are at less than 50% capacity. 
  • Security firm Kastle Systems found that average occupancy for offices was at 47% in October.
  • By tracking key-card scans, Kastle Systems has been informally tracking the success of return-to-office policies.
  • Kastle’s tracking found that Tuesday is the most popular day of the week for employees to work on-site while Friday is the most popular day to work from home. 

Why it’s news

While most employees seem content to work from home, many employers are still pushing for a hybrid or fully in-office work environment.

Even with some companies warning about potential layoffs, employees still aren’t keen to give up the flexibility of remote work. If the economy enters a recession and layoff fears come to fruition, employers could have more bargaining power.

During ongoing labor shortages, employees have had more power to negotiate more appealing working conditions.

Flexibility in the workplace is becoming just as important as the wage rate. 

Surprising statistics

For hybrid work settings, certain days of the week are more popular than others. Here they are…

  • Mondays have 44% occupancy
  • Tuesdays have 55.4% occupancy
  • Wednesdays have 54.6% occupancy
  • Thursdays have 52.4% occupancy
  • Fridays have 32.9% occupancy

win means more

Winning the NCAA college-basketball championship is Florida Atlantic University's (FAU) singular goal, but for the athletic department, the underdog team’s win adds up in other ways—such as money and exposure. 

Key Details

  • Before this season, FAU had only appeared in one NCAA tournament, which they lost in the first round in 2002, Forbes reports.
  • In this year’s tournament, the Owls have won four games, bringing in monetary rewards for the university and the athletic department. Each game equals an NCAA “unit.” In 2021, each unit was worth $337,000 each year over a six-year period.
  • Winning teams are encouraged to distribute their winnings to member schools, but smaller leagues like often use the funds to keep their operations up and running. 
  • In addition to monetary prizes, FAU’s wins bring an invaluable benefit to the school—a growing interest from fans and potential students.
