2022 Future of Work Survey

Always endeavoring to understand how work itself is evolving, Worklife surveyed 575 employees who work at technology companies to gain an understanding of how “work-life” has changed in recent years — and to understand where it’s going next.

Q5. What do you think of companies or managers that demand employees work from the office?

Q7. If you work remotely, how have you been networking and/or meeting new people outside of your company?
