In Rhode Island many companies, including CVS Health Corp., say they are committed to a hybrid model, with workers splitting their time between home and office.
More than 1 out of every 4 companies in the technology, finance and accounting sectors offer a hybrid workplace, according to a national survey conducted in the second quarter of this year by global human resources firm Robert Half International Inc.

Robert Half found that postings for fully in-office jobs dropped from 83% in the first quarter of 2023 to 69% a year later. Meanwhile, job advertisements for hybrid jobs doubled from 9% to 18% over the same period, and fully remote job postings went from 7% to 11%.
