Stanford economist Nicholas Bloom suggests that current global events, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup, extreme heat waves, and rising gas prices due to geopolitical tensions, are reinforcing the benefits of remote and hybrid work. Bloom argues that these factors make commuting undesirable, pushing more companies to permanently adopt flexible work arrangements. He believes that remote work, once seen as a perk, should be viewed by companies as a tool to maintain productivity during disruptive events, with future technologies expected to further enhance virtual collaboration.
