Did you know that work meaning is a stronger driver of #remote-work choices than leader relations, team climate, or even life satisfaction?

In our 6-month study, people who saw their work as meaningful chose remote work less often. This held after accounting for personality, happiness, #LMX, and #team dynamics.

Our findings highlight meaning as one of the most powerful psychological factors behind remote and #hybridWork decisions.

The Lords Select Committee on Home-Based working commissioned a major report on hybrid work.

Among its conclusions; there's a 'preference gap' with employees keener on hybrid work than employers... but also, 'return-to-office' mandates rather than forcing reverses in hybrid working, often merely codify arrangements already reached on a balance between office & home working.

There's plenty more if you're interested in the practice of hybrid work.

Our new longitudinal study shows that work meaning predicts remote-work frequency over time. Employees who find their work highly meaningful tend to limit remote work to protect this psychological resource—offering fresh insight into why many RTO policies fall short.

Here’s something for the workplace philosophers among us: If your software knows where you sit, does your work-life flexibility slide away? The newest feature in Microsoft Teams will automatically update your “work location” when you connect to your company’s WiFi. In one stroke, the tool adds clarity (“Yes, you’re in the office”) and raises tension (“Yes, your boss knows you’re in the office”).
TL;DR
🧠 Teams auto-detects location via office network
⚡ Status shifts from remote to in-building without you clicking anything
🎓 It may help reduce confusion in large campuses
🔍 But it also nudges the boundary of monitoring and trust
