More CEOs expect hybrid work is here to stay
==========

According to a survey by KPMG US, fewer big-company CEOs expect workers to return to the office full-time. Just 34% of US CEOs expect office-based roles to return in the near future, down from 62% in 2023. The survey also showed that 46% of CEOs expect office roles to be hybrid, up from 34% in 2023. Only 3% of CEOs back fully remote work. CEOs are also exploring new ways of scheduling work, such as a four-day week or a four-and-a-half-day week. The survey found that 87% of CEOs are confident in the growth trajectory of the US economy, and 78% are confident in the global economy and the prospects for their companies in the next year. About one-third of CEOs expect a significant increase in hiring in the next year. CEOs are also looking to adopt generative artificial intelligence (AI) more widely, with nearly four in 10 CEOs expecting their companies to move from AI pilots to broader use within the next 12 to 18 months. CEOs are also planning to disclose the use of AI, with 81% planning to flag when AI is involved, up from 19% in 2023. However, CEOs expressed concerns about the US presidential election, high interest rates, geopolitical challenges, and inflation.
