Beyond the memos: who's actually in the office.

A mandate isn't attendance. Badge data, foot traffic and surveys all say the same thing: more people are in than a year ago, but far fewer than in 2019, and most companies still don't require five days.

WFH Research (Barrero, Bloom & Davis), Sep 2026

What happens when companies push.

Research on mandates keeps finding the same pattern: people value flexibility enough to leave for it, and companies don't see the performance gains they were hoping for.

Whatever the rule, plan the days people are actually in.

A three-day rule with anchor days only works if the team is there on them. Build the week with the hybrid schedule template, then put it on a board next to vacations and holidays, so a planning day with half the team away is obvious before anyone commutes in.

How this tracker is checked.

Each record lists its sources: company statements and blog posts, internal memos as reported by major outlets, careers pages and job listings. Where reports disagree, the record says so. Days a week are for most US corporate employees; teams, roles and countries often differ.

Every record carries one of three labels:

  • Confirmed

    From the company, or reported the same way by several major outlets.

    36 employers

  • Reported

    Reported by major outlets, but not every detail is confirmed by the company.

    41 employers

  • Unconfirmed

    Reporting is thin, old or conflicting. Treat it as a lead, not a fact.

    34 employers
