Companies do not use valuable metrics to run their business as much as they claim (or tell themselves) and this is no different.
Remote and flexible work is more productive, gives a company access to better talent and improves retention. The metrics are clear.
The hippo principle, HIghest Paid Person's Opinion. Musk is a nice example for this, making changes that have to be turned back the next day all the time.
The four day workweek is another example. Productivity is kept, but worker wellness goes way up. Yet no one offers it because it has nothing to do with metrics.
Edit: Four day workweek, not four hour workweek. I wish.
Four hours? That would be amazing.
Ha. My mistake. But we can dream.
