At the same time, 87% of CEOs are likely to reward employees who make an effort to come into the office with favourable assignments, pay increases or promotions.
According to KPMG’s 10th annual CEO Outlook survey released on Sept 18, 83% of the over 1,300 CEOs polled say they expect employees to fully return to the office within the next three years, a significant increase from 64% in 2023.
Of those expecting a full return, 87% of them were older CEOs aged 60 to 69 while 83% were aged 50 to 59. In comparison, 75% of CEOs aged 40 to 49 were expecting to see their employees in the office full-time. The split is seen among genders too with 84% of male CEOs predicting a full return to the office compared to 78% of female CEOs expecting the same.
