Mark Dixon, CEO of IWG (world's largest workspace provider), predicts daily office commutes will vanish by 2040 as Gen Alpha normalizes remote and flexible work. Research shows 80% of Gen Alpha expect flexible work as standard by 2040, with only 25% willing to commute over 30 minutes. As younger Gen Z/Millennial leaders—more inclined to permit remote work—ascend to executive positions, the mandatory office culture will fade, reshaping how and where work happens globally.
