New Survey Shows Declining Interest for Full Return to Office

Posted by: Stacey Shrader Joslin on Feb 11, 2022

A new survey from legal recruiting firm Major, Lindsey & Africa shows that 75% of respondents want to be in the office at least one day per week while only 27% want to be in the office more than a day or two. The group conducted the "LawLife 2.0 How the Pandemic Redefined the Way We Work" survey as a follow up to its 2021 “Lawyers’ Perspectives on Returning to the Office” survey and found that the desire to be in the office declined significantly in less than a year. Just 10 months ago, the number of respondents who wanted to be in the office three or four days a week was 46%. Stephanie Biderman, a co-author of the survey, said firms need to make the office experience worth the commute. “Firms have to make time in the office more valuable. Training, mentorship, positive cultural events and team-building events. That is where the focus is going to have to be,” she says. Law.com has more on the story.
