Yelp's Remote-First Strategy

In today's episode: After the pandemic hit, 87% of Yelp's employees said they preferred working at home. When offices opened, they were less than 1% occupied. Following the data, the company decided to stay remote-first as a sign of trust in their employees--a trust that goes both ways. We're seeing a lot of return-to-office mandates as we head into 2025, but it's not clear whether the mandates are based in data on culture or productivity.
