Super commuters spend more than 3 hours commuting to and from an office. Most only go to the office no more than a day or two a week - and most go less. Their numbers are growing due to the shift to #remotework.

Commutes inevitably affect the success of the CRE office market. Because of remote and hybrid work options, where people can work from home full-time or part-time, many are rethinking where they live. While some still prioritize living near the office, a growing number of "super commuters" are willing to travel longer distances. This trend is playing out across different markets, offering valuable clues about the changing face of commuting in the US. Check it out, here! #commute #officemarket #hybridwork

Are you feeling the squeeze of a longer commute? As more and more people return to the office, commute times are steadily increasing, approaching pre-pandemic levels. Our recent article delves into the latest commute data and explores the factors influencing commute times across the United States. Key takeaways: • The average national commute time in 2022 was 52.8 minutes per day, a 4% decrease from 2019. • The increase in remote workers during the pandemic led to a decrease in commute times, but as more people return to the office, commute times are expected to rise. • New York City has the longest commute time in the country, with an average of 40.7 minutes one-way.

Commutes have TRIPLED in time for many employees overnight, especially in the greater Seattle area. 😫 The great return-to-office debate wages on. Companies want increased productivity. Employees want flexibility. There must be a middle ground. I get it from both sides... Working remote had perks, but also distractions galore. I’d start 30 tasks in a day and not finish any. Going into an actual office does help separate work from home. But with traffic, who wants to spend hours commuting? Not me. 🙅♀️ That’s why forward-thinking companies are turning to a hybrid hub-and-spoke model. They keep a main office but also leverage coworking spaces as satellite locations for employees. This allows workers to ditch the stressful cross-city drive but still get the benefits of an office environment closer to home. For example, one member company uses our space for employees that live locally. Instead of a 90-minute trek to Seattle, they have a 10-minute commute. Talk about a game changer! 🚗 So while some commute may be inevitable, it doesn't have to be a dealbreaker. Coworking spaces create the perfect compromise between the flexibility of remote work and the focus of an office. The next era of work is upon us - it's in the neighborhood, not the skyscrapers. 🏢 #coworking #remotework #returntooffice #commuterlife

In March 2020, something new happened. Workers worldwide sought refuge in their homes, and CEOs discovered their employees COULD complete work efficiently, productively, and with high quality at home. Not every leadership team has remained convinced, but some of the arguments we're seeing for return-to-office (RTO) are absurd. We've noticed headlines like: 🚫 "Air quality inside homes worse than office buildings, study suggests." (Fox News) 🚫 "You may get more work done at home. But you’d have better ideas at the office." (Washington Post) 🚫 "Bad news, remote workers: You need to return to the office for your employer to succeed." (USA Today) 🚫 "CEO praises worker who sold family dog to commit to return-to-office policy." (Global News) 🚫 "Battle over return to office heats up as bosses lose patience." (Washington Post) What's the common thread here? They all focus on the leadership team and company and frame remote work as a perk rather than an efficient way to do work. Without middle managers breathing down their necks, colleagues stopping by their desks to chat, and without the financial burden of morning coffees, commuting or lunches, employees discovered going to an office every day wasn't all it's cracked up to be. clearmotive marketing has always had team members spread across two cities, Calgary and Toronto. This has never prevented us from delivering high-impact, hard-working marketing for our clients. What changed for us was the realization that our employees can be effective contributors not just from their kitchen tables, "cloffices," and basements - but from anywhere. Revolutionary, we know. Once things became safe, we doubled down on work-from-anywhere and eliminated our expensive office spaces, reducing our overhead and providing a better work-life balance for our team members. We focus on radical accountability, not hours clocked in a cubicle. Our team members know they have to deliver on time and with quality. How, when and where they choose to do their work is up to them. Are you working remotely, in-office or with flexibility? What works for your team? #RTO #ReturnToOffice #WorkFromAnywhere #clearmotivemarketing

“If I had to be in the office five days a week, there’s no way” An interesting effect of mass adoption of hybrid work: people actually commuting from farther away… It seems crazy but with the price of housing, interest rates, and the need to only be in 1-3 days a week people are making the longer distances work. I personally know several people who commute by rail to other cities for their hybrid schedules so this next part wasn’t shocking. “The average distance to work rose to 27 miles at the end of 2023 from 10 miles in 2019, according to Gusto’s study of 52,000 employees at more than 6,800 businesses” I admit I do sometimes miss my train and ferry commutes if for nothing other than the reading time! Are you commuting farther post pandemic? Full details in the WSJ article here: https://lnkd.in/gn27-7_d #workplace #commuting #hybridwork #remotework #futureofwork

Ivanti is a massive supporter of #EverywhereWork, so I love seeing further evidence that remote work is here to stay. In his recent article, Stanford Professor Nick Bloom reveals that return-to-office trends have flatlined in multiple cities across the U.S. With only 50% occupancy rates compared to February 2020 levels, it's clear that employees have quietly united behind work-from-home habits in 2023.

🌍💼✨ How does Home Swapping and Working Remotely fit together? In today's digital age, the boundaries of our workspaces are expanding beyond the traditional office. Remote work has given us the freedom to work from anywhere, and home swapping is the perfect complement to this newfound flexibility. 🏠🔄💻 Think about it, a change of scenery and the comforts of home, all in one. Home Swapping allows you to exchange your home with someone else's, enabling you to experience different cultures and environments without the high cost of travel. It's a win-win, well maybe not for hotels and B&B's... So just with a laptop and an internet connection, we can collaborate, create, and contribute from anywhere in the world. As an added benefit most homes already have a space that was or can be used as a workplace. So no need to try to find a less noisy cafe to have your meeting in, next to 10 other people doing the same. As you can see home swapping and working remotely wotk together almost as good as peanut butter and jelly...almost. So in conclusion: 1. It helps cut down on accommodation expenses while experiencing new places. 2. You can live like a local and gain fresh perspectives that inspire creativity and innovation. 3. Enjoy a unique work environment that keeps you motivated and rejuvenated.
