QUINCY, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — An increasing number of offices have abandoned their work from home models, but some demographics are more likely to hold their ground on the pandemic lifestyle, according to new data.
The report from Gartner shows millennials, high-performing employees and women are all more likely to leave their jobs if their employer requires them to work from the office.
Women reported isolation from microagressions in the workplace as a top advantage to working from home.
Millennials said time with their kids was a top reason to stay out of the office.
WBZ's Jim Mackay spoke with people in Quincy Center about their preferences.
"If you can get accomplished what you need to on a day-to-day basis, you should still be able to work from home," one local said.
Others added that the model lets them spend time with family between work tasks, set their own hours and feel more self-employed.
