Why the argument for WFH could get a big boost from AI

The pandemic changed how people worked, shifting most professionals to remote or hybrid models. For the software company Atlassian, this flexible, distributed approach persists to this day. "We have 13,000 employees spread across the globe, and individuals can choose their working location every day," said Annie Dean, Head of Team Anywhere, Atlassian's distributed work policy. "It's about how we work, not where we work." The implementation of the flexible model has produced positive effects for employees and the company alike. Internal data reveals that even though only 34% of employees have opted to work from home, 92% of Atlassian employees reported that the ability to work from anywhere allows them to perform their best, and 91% said it's an important reason for staying at the company.
