The Future of Work: The Business Case for Flexible Work

Prithwiraj (Raj) Choudhury, a professor at Harvard Business School, highlighted the business case for flexible work during Harvard’s Future of Business conference. He presented data showing the increase in remote work and the willingness of workers to sacrifice compensation for flexible arrangements. Implementing flexible work is crucial for attracting and retaining talent. Experts recommend an organized hybrid approach that balances executive demands and employee autonomy. The optimal number of in-person work days is still being studied, but research suggests a balance between 23% and 40% is ideal.
