COLONIE Fifty-seven percent of CEOs in the Capital Region have increased the ability for their employees to work remotely, and 48 percent of those CEOs plan to keep remote work indefinitely.
These are the findings of The Siena College Research Institute’s annual survey of upstate CEOs, which includes responses from 1,036 CEOs across various industries. The survey was conducted between Jan. 12 and March 12 of this year.
While CEOs feel they’ve made great strides towards efficient remote and hybrid working models and are optimistic about the benefits that remote work will continue to bring to their employees, many CEOs expressed concerns about their ability to build community, keep up morale, organically maintain one-on-one relationships, and really understand if their employees are happy when not in the office.
CEOS say lots of jobs, fewer workers
They cite sharp disconnect between worlds of school and work existing in silos
