How about if not only your salary sucked, but also your benefits? And a new benefit being highly coveted and negotiated over is being able to work from home.

And a new study finds commuting costs are at the center of disputes over return-to-office mandates.

60% of U.S. professionals cite commuting expenses as the most crucial cost to have subsidized by their employer, according to a new poll.

Amid calls by corporations for workers to return to the office, a new study found that commuting costs are the biggest obstacle to achieving that goal.

My take?

North Carolina career consultant Matthew Warzel told The Epoch Times that due to the commuting cost increase, โ€œitโ€™s understandable that workers are reluctant to make such a move.โ€

Warzel believes the cost of commuting is among the factors companies are starting to weigh along with the cost of maintaining office space, the impact on employee morale, and the long-term impact on recruitment and retention.

โ€œEach companyโ€™s approach will depend on its unique business model and workforce needs,โ€ he said. โ€œCommuting stipends or subsidies where employers provide a set amount or cover specific expenses are very effective.โ€

Other incentives include tax deductions for transit costs in order to reduce the financial strain that public transport commuters experience as well as transportation vouchers or stipends.

โ€œThey could also explore partnerships with transport providers to get discounted rates for employees or offer flexible work options to reduce the number of days employees need to commute,โ€ Warzel said.

According to the latest Resume Templates survey of 849 managers, 27% of businesses will have returned to the traditional 5-days-per-week in-office practice by the end of 2025. Some 22% have already implemented such changes, and 5% plan to do so.

Meanwhile, the survey shows that only 6% of businesses expect to remain fully remote throughout 2025 leaving employees with a choice.
