RTO mandates have brought workers back to the office. However, that doesn't mean remote work is dead. Miles Everson - July 24, 2026 From the desk of Miles Everson: Happy Friday! I'm excited for yet another "Mindfulness by Miles." In these articles, I talk about health, career longevity, AI, business, and the future of work. My goal is to equip you with the insights needed to navigate both your personal and professional life with greater clarity and energy. | | Today, Free Birds Revolution'll talk about remote and hybrid work, and why they have remained a fixture in today's complex and AI-powered jobs landscape. Intrigued? Keep reading below. RTO mandates have brought workers back to the office. However, that doesn't mean remote work is dead. The COVID-19 pandemic drastically changed how work was done. At the height of this health crisis, many professionals across Corporate America worked within the confines of their homes. Even when America and the rest of the world opened up, remote work continued to persist. According to findings from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 35% of U.S.-based employees did some or all of their work at home in 2023. However, the winds have shifted since then. Corporate America has made a concerted effort to bring workers back to the office. In 2025, corporate behemoths like Amazon, Google, Starbucks, and JPMorgan Chase enacted sweeping return-to-office (RTO) mandates. It's been more than a year since these RTO policies have been put to effect, and while it's reasonable to assume that these have helped in killing off remote work entirely, that might not be entirely the case. Remote Work Isn't Dead Yet The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis recently looked into how remote work has fared over the past two years. According to its findings, the number of people across the U.S. working remotely hasn't changed much over the past couple of years. In 2025, roughly 22% of American workers aged 16 and older engaged in some remote work. Within this group, 10.4% worked fully remotely, and 11.4% followed a hybrid schedule. Roughly the same numbers were observed in 2024, with just a slight difference - 10.6% of employees worked remotely full-time while 11.7% followed a hybrid setup in December of that year. It's clear that remote work has remained a fixture in the American workplace, but there are nuances to take note of as well. In the same Federal Reserve study, it was observed that Washington, D.C., Massachusetts, and Colorado have the highest percentage of people working remotely in the U.S. Meanwhile, the public information and information sectors saw the most drops in the number of remote workers at -6% and -5.1%, respectively. While those sectors saw declines, the health care and social assistance, manufacturing, and other services categories saw mild increases in their remote working populations. What's even more interesting is that, according to workplace consulting firm Leesman, only about 3% of the 100 to 130 large companies it surveyed require employees to be in the office five days a week. In the grand scheme of things, 3% seems like a drop in the bucket. It also shows that remote work - or hybrid work - has endured despite the massive RTO push. To sum up, what's clear from the numbers Free Birds Revolution has presented so far is that remote work has yet to go away... and that begs the question: Why hasn't remote work gone away completely? There are many answers to that question, but Free Birds Revolution has chosen to highlight two of the most plausible reasons. * Worker Preference According to Gallup, 76% employees who work in a hybrid setting consider the setup as advantageous to their personal life and work life balance. Meanwhile, 64% found that a hybrid working setup has helped them become more efficient in the use of their time. 61% also said the working setup leads to less burnout or fatigue. Given these advantages, it's clear why working remotely (even if it's not full-time), continues to remain popular among professionals. * A Better Pool of Workers While it's commonly assumed that remote work is popular mainly to workers, there's also a reason as to why some companies prefer this setup. According to Deborah Saneman, CEO of payroll and HR software firm Würk, shrinking down its office footprint and allowing for remote working options have enabled it to attract more talent. From these numbers and reasons, it's evident that remote work isn't going away anytime soon. So, what does that entail for leaders and managers? It means that to remain competitive in today's complex jobs market, some form of flexibility will be needed to attract and retain top-tier talent. Sure, AI has been a force multiplier; however, these systems don't work on their own. They still need human oversight. The best talents today aren't just those who possess expertise and deep knowledge in their respective domains; they're also adept at leveraging AI to boost their productivity and competence. That said, those who possess that combination don't come in droves. Most of them might even consider the flexibility that remote and hybrid work provide as non-negotiable. Hence, to ensure your access to top talent, a robust remote and/or hybrid work policy will become one of your best tools in attracting and retaining high performers.

Coro and PwC Italy Partner to Help Automate Cybersecurity and NIS2 Compliance for Businesses of all sizes. Strategic alliance combines PwC Italy's advisory expertise with Coro's AI-native cybersecurity platform to help organizations democratize cybersecurity and meet evolving regulatory requirements. July 23, 2026 03:00 ET | Source: Coro NEW YORK, July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Coro, the leading cybersecurity platform purpose-built for organizations with Lean IT teams, today announced a strategic partnership with PwC Italy. The partnership aims to help organizations located in Italy automate and democratize cybersecurity operations while meeting regulatory requirements, like NIS2, and bring accessible protection and regulatory compliance to organizations of all sizes.

"Our clients are facing an increasingly complex regulatory environment, and they need practical, effective solutions to stay protected," "Partnering with Coro allows us to provide businesses with an advanced, automated security platform that not only strengthens their cyber resilience but..." The partnership arrives as NIS2, the EU's directive aimed at strengthening cybersecurity across 18 sectors deemed critical to the European economy, from energy and healthcare to digital infrastructure and public administration, reshapes the regulatory landscape for an estimated 160,000 organizations across the EU. According to the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), "70% of organizations now cite regulatory compliance as the primary driver behind their cybersecurity investment, signaling a broader shift toward cybersecurity platforms that can deliver both operational simplicity and regulatory readiness."[1.] Through the partnership, PwC Italy's Cybersecurity and Resilience practice will work alongside Coro's unified, AI-native platform to give organisations located in Italy a clearer path to compliance, combining regulatory expertise with a platform built to consolidate the fragmented tools that often slow compliance efforts down. Rather than managing security and compliance as separate workstreams, organizations gain a single, automated foundation that satisfies NIS2 requirements while reducing the operational overhead of maintaining multiple disconnected systems. "Organizations today don't need more security tools; they need security that's easier to operate," said Ingo Schaefer, Vice President of EMEA at Coro. "As cybersecurity and regulatory compliance become increasingly interconnected, businesses are looking for solutions that strengthen protection without adding operational complexity. Together with PwC Italy, we're helping organizations move beyond reactive security and toward a more unified, resilient approach that's built for the future of cybersecurity." "Our clients are facing an increasingly complex regulatory environment, and they need practical, effective solutions to stay protected," said Mauro Felice, Partner at PwC Italy. "Partnering with Coro allows us to provide businesses with an advanced, automated security platform that not only strengthens their cyber resilience but significantly simplifies the NIS2 compliance process. Together, we are helping organisations reduce their operational burdens while ensuring top-tier protection."
