SKEPTICAL office managers should stick with hybrid working, according to researchers writing in the journal Nature, who found evidence in China that working from home makes employees less likely to quit and can save a business millions of dollars.

The team said hybrid work models “improved job satisfaction and reduced quit rates by one-third,” with “significant” reductions seen among “non-managers, female employees and those with long commutes.”
