Remote work holds at a quarter of U.S. workdays, data cited in Kelly review show

Remote work holds at a quarter of U.S. workdays, data cited in Kelly review show

Remote work held near a quarter of U.S. paid workdays in 2026, and monthly telework stayed between 21.5% and 23% for a year. Executives still expect a full return to the office, but Kelly finds mandates raise attendance by less than they call for. The practical response is to plan by measure and by role: full-day counts for office space, part-day counts for meetings, and remote terms set by role family.

  • 01After years of tougher mandates, remote work still sits near a quarter of U.S. paid workdays, which makes it one of the steadiest numbers a workforce planner has.
  • 02Use full-day remote figures to size office space and part-day figures to plan meetings. The 35% of workers who did any work at home on a workday is a different population from the 26% of workdays done remotely.
  • 03FlexJobs found fully remote job postings rose 33% in Q3 2026 vs. Q2, the third straight quarter of growth, but results vary widely by employer and role.

The Early Scale: Federal Agencies Warn Cold Chain on Cyber Threats

Energy-as-a-service (EaaS) is effectively changing how businesses manage their energy costs. With EaaS, companies can gain more predictable expenses and align energy usage with sustainability goals, all without upfront capital expenditures. As an example, Dunkin' stores in San Antonio embraced this model, showing how it stabilizes expenditures and supports green energy transitions. This speaks to an emerging trend where businesses across various sectors are prioritizing sustainable and cost-effective energy solutions.

  • 01CISA, the FBI, USDA and other agencies urge cold chain operators to strengthen cybersecurity against rising threats.
  • 02Octopus Energy's smart-device customers show 50-60% participation in demand response programs, outpacing national averages.
  • 03Energy-as-a-service enables predictable expenses and sustainability alignment without capital expenditure, as demonstrated by Dunkin' locations.

Only 4% of US HR chiefs feel very prepared for AI-driven workforce change

Only 4% of US HR chiefs feel very prepared for AI-driven workforce change

Only 4% of US chief HR officers say they are very prepared for AI-driven workforce change, while PwC found worker access to training fell from 59% to 51%. The gap is in work design. Vistek, Sophos and JLL point to mapping workflows and pairing HR with IT before adding AI licences.

  • 01At Vistek, Reid spent six to 10 years mapping workflows before deciding where automation could add value.
  • 0277% of managers think employees are set up for AI success, but only 24% of individual contributors strongly agree, and Skillsoft says the gap can lead organizations to overestimate readiness.
