Top executives are leveraging new technologies to redefine how work can be done, resulting in various work setup choices for CFOs and professionals.
Industries like tech are more open to remote or hybrid setups, whereas manufacturing tends to lean towards traditional office work.
Despite the push for full in-office returns, evidence shows that C-suite executives are negotiating alternative work arrangements.
Notable examples include CEOs like Brian Niccol and CFOs like Sabrina Simmons and Michelle Chang opting for remote or hybrid work setups.
Companies like Zoom are adopting structured hybrid approaches, requiring employees to be onsite a few days a week but allowing flexibility for remote work.
