Fully on-site work is expected to be a 'relic of the past," according to recent Gallup research that reveals just two out of 10 remote-capable employees expect to work 100% of the time from an office in the future.

The number is especially staggering when viewed through the lens of pre-pandemic surveys, in which a whopping 60% of those polled said they expected to be fully on-site. Just 6% want to work entirely on-site going forward.

Gallup estimates that more than 70 million US workers can do their job remotely, though fully remote work arrangements are expected to decline from three in 10 remote-capable employees in June to two in 10 for the long term (despite an estimated 34% wanting to permanently work from home).  But interestingly, fully remote work arrangements are expected to nearly triple compared to pre-pandemic numbers.
