Gunderson Dettmer is pleased to announce its Returning to the Workplace Survey Report. This report summarizes the data gathered from over 250 VC firms.
Below are the key takeaways, a link to the survey results, and a recent client alert on how employers can prepare for a return to the workplace.
Key Trends: Remote Work
- Nearly half of firms have offices open, but on-site presence is optional.
- One-third of firms are fully remote; however, nearly 60%of firms plan to have a hybrid model in the future.
- The most common type of hybrid model requires employees to come into the office at least 2 times per week.
Key Trends: Vaccination
- About half of the firms will be mandating employee vaccinations under some circumstances.
- About 15% of firms are still deciding their vaccination plans.
- About half of firms will be requiring proof, a majority will do so by collecting copies of the vaccination cards or similar record.
Key Trends: Future Plans
- A majority of firms are not mandating return to the workplace and plan to keep a hybrid or fully remote model indefinitely, that is the "new normal."
- Only 7% of companies allow or plan to allow non-vaccinated employees to submit weekly proof of a negative COVID-19 test. 54% will not allow this, while the remainder are still deciding.
