The West Coast Dominates When it Comes to Workplace Flexibility but a Few Southern Cities Are Making Their Mark
Summary
The Flex Index finds that three Southern cities are listed among the top 10 most flexible metros: Austin, Texas, Charleston, S.C., and Durham, N.C. “Work’s future and success depend largely on flexibility – the single most important ingredient in today’s workplace culture and tomorrow’s best teams,” said Rob Sadow, CEO and Co-Founder of Scoop. With insight into company-by-company trends across numerous axes — including location, size, industry, and more — employees, prospective hires, recruiters, researchers, and journalists will now — for the first time — be able to discover companies workplace flexibility policies in a single, comprehensive place. “The shift to hybrid and remote work is part of a broader rethinking of the value of commercial office space by basing success on output instead of an in-office presence,” said Arpit Gupta, Associate Professor of Finance at the NYU Stern School of Business. “Having deep insight on trends based on accessible, reliable, and timely data will help us navigate the possible economic impact of sustained rising rates on real estate value.” The dynamic database allows for updates and additions to existing company listings to reflect the rapid changes and particularities of how a company or office implements its policies.
