Is Remote Work Going Away? 

Short answer: No. Remote work isn't going away, it's evolving.

While some companies are pushing for return-to-office policies, the broader trend shows remote and hybrid work are here to stay. The data tells us that:

  • According to SHRM, the share of U.S. employees working remotely has grown from 17.9% in late 2022 to 23.7% in early 2025.
  • Remote and hybrid jobs make up just 20% of LinkedIn listings, but they generate 60% of all applications, showing how much candidates prioritize flexibility.
  • Most workers still want flexibility, even if that doesn't mean being fully remote.

he real story isn’t about remote work ending—it’s about how employers adapt. Remote is shifting into hybrid and structured-flexibility models, where organizations balance employee expectations with productivity and culture.

The takeaway: Remote work is not going away. It’s becoming a permanent feature of the workplace—just in new, evolving forms like hybrid and structured-flexibility models.
