Owl Labs State of Hybrid Work 2026 (US Report)

Owl Labs' tenth annual survey report on how US employees work across office, hybrid, and remote arrangements, including attitudes toward return-to-office policies and workplace technology. Owl Labs sells video-conferencing hardware, so it has a commercial interest in hybrid work.

Allwork.Space

A free daily publication covering the future of work: hybrid and remote policy, return-to-office mandates, flexible workspace and coworking, workplace technology and AI, and the employment law and labour trends behind them. Articles read in full with no subscription and no paywall.

Why I recommend it: Read this when you want to know what employers are actually doing about remote and hybrid work before you negotiate for it, or when you are weighing an offer that calls itself flexible. It is written for the workspace industry, so some coverage is trade news about office operators rather than advice for you; take the policy reporting and skip the property pieces.
