Summary
With the return-to-office trend gaining momentum since the start of the year, spurred on by mandates from the likes of JP Morgan, WPP and Amazon, industry analyst Josh Bersin claims the reality of a slowing economy is behind many companies’ decision, with AI also playing a role.
Bersin suggests that both factors are difficult to monitor among workers at home, sparking the desire for a return to the office for many roles.
Even without an enforced return, workers are already being monitored by a variety of 21st century technologies, ranging from GPS and QR codes to palm, face and eye scanners, raising questions around privacy.
