Two days working from home. A third fewer resignations.
A randomised trial at Trip.com found that offering two home-working days a week reduced quitting, with no detected harm to performance ratings.
The arrangement was specific: shared office days, optional home-working on Wednesdays and Fridays, and evaluation before wider rollout.
For leaders considering hybrid working, the study provides a practical starting point. It tested one company’s arrangement; it didn’t establish which individual setup choices drove the results.
