As companies try to navigate the hybrid work model and their office space needs, it's been a case of executives and employees trying to find their way and a new balance. The pandemic seems to be slowing — although on January 23 there was a running daily average of 46,418 cases and 36,650 hospitalized, according to the New York Times, and the CDC still lists Covid-19 and the third leading cause of death in the US.

Many companies are pushing to get workers back into the office. But according to a new survey from American Staffing Association and Harris Poll, only 48% of workers work completely in person in corporate offices, while 28% are hybrid and 24% are fully remote. A majority of them are out of the office at least part of the time if not all.

John Gates, CEO of Americas Markets at JLL, told Yahoo Finance that his company is using client surveys, badge swipe data, and sublease data to understand what is happening with the office market.
