Fired vaccine experts warn that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.&#8217;s overhaul of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention&#8217;s key vaccine advisory panel threatens public health and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/45937422/rfk-jr-appointee-to-cdc-advisory-committee-was-a-paid-expert-in-mercks-gardasil-lawsuit">undermines decades of immunization progress</a>.
What Happened: Seventeen ousted members of the CDC&#8217;s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices published a warning in the JAMA medical journal on Monday, condemning Kennedy&#8217;s abrupt dismissal of the entire panel on June 9.
Kennedy replaced them with eight new members, including vaccine critics Robert Malone and Retsef Levi.
&#8220;The abrupt dismissal of the entire membership of the ACIP, along with its executive secretary, on June 9, the appointment of 8 new ACIP members just 2 days later, and the recent reduction of CDC staff dedicated to immunizations have left the U.S. vaccine program critically weakened,&#8221; the former members wrote.

Why It Matters: Kennedy justified the overhaul to &#8220;re-establish public confidence in vaccine science,&#8221; claiming former President Joe Biden-appointed members had conflicts of interest without providing specific evidence. 
The committee advises the CDC on immunization schedules after U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval, directly influencing insurance coverage and vaccine policy, reported Reuters.
The panel shake-up compounds broader pharmaceutical industry disruption. The Trump administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/health-care/25/06/45898417/rfk-jr-appoints-vaccine-critics-to-cdc-vaccine-panel-after-firing-entire-advisory-committee-report">terminated a $600 million</a> Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>) contract for mRNA bird flu vaccine development and removed COVID-19 vaccines from recommended schedules for pregnant women and children.
Kennedy&#8217;s broader healthcare restructuring eliminated 10,000 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services positions to save $1.8 billion annually.

China is growing its nuclear arsenal more rapidly than any other country in the world, according to a new report.
What Happened: Newly released research by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) estimates that China now possesses at least 600 nuclear warheads, with "around 100 per year being added to the stockpile since 2023."
According <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/17/china-nuclear-warheads-weapons-stockpile">to</a> the Guardian, the pace of this buildup suggests China could hold 1,500 warheads by 2035, nearing the number of deployed warheads held by the U.S. and Russia.
At a press briefing, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun declined to comment on the report, but stated: "China has always adhered to the nuclear strategy of self-defence, always maintained its nuclear forces at the minimum level required for national security, and has not participated in the arms race."
Guo also restated China's nuclear policy: "China adheres to a policy of not being the first to use nuclear weapons at any time, and that China would not use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear armed states."
"China will continue to firmly commit to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/44001823/china-us-to-begin-military-talks-signaling-possible-de-escalation-beijing-urges-america-first-in-nuclear-disarmament">safeguarding its legitimate security interests</a> and maintaining world peace and stability," he added.

Why It Matters: SIPRI observes that while China still lags far behind the U.S. and Russia in overall nuclear inventories—5,177 and 5,459 warheads, respectively—the current trend indicates that the country is shifting gears after years of disarmament.
"The era of reductions in the number of nuclear weapons in the world, which had lasted since the end of the cold war, is coming to an end," said Hans M. Kristensen, associate senior fellow at SIPRI.
Currently, China is thought to have 24 warheads that are "already placed on missiles or located in bases with operational forces," meaning they could be deployed at short notice. The report also highlights extensive construction of intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) facilities in northern desert regions and three mountainous eastern sites.
China's increasing nuclear capability is of strategic importance in the context of Taiwan, which Beijing claims as its own.
SIPRI also noted that the global nuclear arsenal has increased to 12,241 warheads and underscored the need for new control measures for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45946284/ai-quantum-tech-could-heighten-nuclear-conflict-risk-through-miscommunication-and-technical-accidents-warns-think-tank">rapidly accelerating nuclear arms race.</a>

Top 2 Real Estate Stocks Which Could Rescue Your Portfolio This Quarter

Israel has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/06/45965846/israel-is-pounding-irans-energy-infrastructure-and-its-sending-these-oil-etfs-soaring-but-it-maybe-bad-news-at-the-gas-pump">attacked Iran's energy infrastructure</a> in a bid to cripple the economic foundations of the Middle Eastern country in the ongoing military conflict.
However, Iran's energy woes are not new. The domestic energy sector has been struggling and the regime's cryptocurrency endeavors may have contributed to the problem.
What Happened: Iran pivoted to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) mining as a tool to bypass sanctions that have impacted its economy and curtailed access to international finance. It also signaled <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42384513/iran-plans-to-regulate-crypto-to-nullify-sanctions-as-trump-set-to-oversee-administration">plans to regulate cryptocurrency</a>, aiming to "eliminate negative impacts while leveraging positive effects" of digital currencies.
But what began as a state-sanctioned workaround for sanctions has "mutated into a security vulnerability," <a href="https://www.meforum.org/mef-observer/how-irans-cryptocurrency-gamble-empowers-the-revolutionary-guards-and-drains-the-state">said </a>the Middle East Forum, a conservative think tank that promotes U.S. interests in the Middle East and a harsh critic of the Iranian regime.
"While Iran's power grid began experiencing seasonal shortages in 2018, the problem intensified dramatically with the introduction of crypto mining," according to a report by the think tank.
The report blamed Iran's Revolutionary Guards for the mess, claiming that the group fought the government&#8217;s efforts to shut down illegal mining while using cryptocurrencies to increase their riches.
Iran International, a London-based Persian-language network critical of Iran&#8217;s leadership, published a similar <a href="https://www.iranintl.com/en/202412215163">report</a><a href="https://www.iranintl.com/en/202412215163" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a>last year, discussing the impact of Bitcoin mining on overburdening the energy grid.
<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga</a> reached out to the Iranian government for a comment. The story will be updated when they respond.

Why It Matters: These energy woes come amid escalating tensions with Israel that risks snowballing into a full-scale conflict that may bring in other major nations.
On Monday, President Donald Trump sent alarm bells ringing when he urged everyone to "immediately"&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/45964856/trump-asks-everyone-to-immediately-evacuate-tehran-odds-of-us-striking-iran-spike-on-crypto-betting-platform" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">evacuate the city</a>&nbsp;of Tehran. Israel has been launching strikes on Iran since Thursday of last week, but the U.S. has stayed out of the conflict thus far.
While Iran has also launched missile attacks in retaliation, their frequency has reportedly decreased as a result of Israel's targeted strikes on<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45944854/irans-missile-stockpile-may-be-shrinking-as-strikes-on-israel-taper-off-says-think-tank-lmt-rtx-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;Iran's missile stockpile and launch capability</a>.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has once again urged Americans to demand a shorter work week, now that AI technologies are boosting productivity across sectors.  
What Happened: In a recent X post, Sanders wrote: "With the explosion of AI, new technology and increased worker productivity, we should demand a shorter work week, increased life expectancy and a decent standard of living for all. The benefits of AI must go to working families, not just high-tech CEOs."

In April this year, Sanders referred to Elon Musk&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44447947/big-short-investor-danny-moses-warns-of-economic-risks-from-elon-musks-doge-induced-federal-job-cuts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dismissal of federal workers</a>&nbsp;under the Trump administration&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44757196/bernie-sanders-warns-the-job-you-have-today-aint-going-to-be-here-in-10-or-15-years-as-ai-and-robotics-threaten-us-workforce">advised the public to consider the AI threat seriously.</a>
&#8220;If Musk can do this to federal employees, what do you think he&#8217;s going to be doing when artificial intelligence and robotics come for your job?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;The job you have today ain&#8217;t going to be here in 10 or 15 years.&#8221;
In his latest post, he highlighted the possibility of shorter work weeks aided by AI, an idea that has been promoted by the likes of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44481583/bill-gates-thinks-you-might-only-work-2-3-days-a-week-thanks-to-ai-but-also-says-legitimately-people-are-like-wow-this-is-a-bit-scary">Microsoft CEO Bill Gates</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45944333/zoom-ceo-eric-yuan-dismisses-work-life-balance-work-is-life-life-is-work-with-one-important-caveat">Zoom CEO Eric Yuan</a>.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk predicted earlier this year that AI would eventually eliminate the need for humans to work at all: "In a benign scenario,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/05/39044740/probably-none-of-us-will-have-a-job-elon-musk-predicts-massive-job-losses-due-to-ai" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">probably none of us will have a job</a>,&#8221; Musk said. &#8220;There will be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45930142/there-will-be-universal-high-income-elon-musk-predicts-with-80-certainty-that-none-of-us-will-have-jobs-but-bill-gates-says-its-too-soon">universal high income</a>. I&#8217;d say there&#8217;s about an 80% chance that AI advances will lead to a situation where humans will not need to work and will have all they need.&#8221;

Bernie Sanders Says AI Boom Must Serve Working Families, Not Billionaires: Calls For Shorter Work Week, Higher Quality Of Life

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk on Monday posted laboratory results showing negative drug test results for over 20 substances, including cocaine, opiates, and cannabinoids. Musk shared the lab report on X with a simple &#8220;lol&#8221; comment.
What Happened: The United States Drug Testing laboratory report, dated June 16 and collected June 11, shows negative results across a comprehensive URINE17 panel. Tested substances included benzodiazepines, amphetamines, ecstasy, barbiturates, cocaine, ketamine, methadone, opiates, PCP, oxycodone, cannabinoids, fentanyl, and ethanol. 
Sample validity tests confirmed normal pH levels at 5.11 and creatinine at 47.16 mg/dL.

The posting comes days after Musk&#8217;s online feud with President Donald Trump. The Washington Post reported on June 8 that Trump has privately called Musk a &#8220;big-time drug addict&#8221; in conversations with allies, marking a significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45829416/trump-allegedly-calling-people-to-claim-elon-musk-has-serious-drug-problem-big-time-drug-addict">deterioration in their previously strong alliance</a>.
Trump&#8217;s private assertions <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis/25/05/45700477/elon-musk-was-using-drugs-while-on-campaign-trail-with-trump-including-ecstasy-and-psychedelic-mushrooms">followed a May 30 New York Times report</a> alleging Musk consumed ketamine, ecstasy, and psychedelic mushrooms during the 2024 campaign trail. The Times reported Musk told associates he was taking so much ketamine it affected his bladder and he traveled daily with a box containing 20 pills, including Adderall.

Why It Matters: The political fallout intensified after Musk&#8217;s NASA pick, Jared Isaacman, made Democratic donations, reportedly infuriating Trump. Sources told the Post that Trump considered investigating Musk&#8217;s government contracts following Musk&#8217;s criticism of Trump&#8217;s budget bill and social media <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45829416/trump-allegedly-calling-people-to-claim-elon-musk-has-serious-drug-problem-big-time-drug-addict">posts echoing impeachment rhetoric</a>.
Musk has previously acknowledged using prescription ketamine for depression and famously smoked marijuana during a 2018 Joe Rogan podcast appearance, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/02/43560520/elon-musk-who-smoked-weed-on-rogans-podcast-calls-federal-drug-testing-a-great-idea">triggered mandatory drug testing</a> for SpaceX employees due to federal contracts.
Price Action: Tesla stock closed at $329.13 on Monday, gaining 1.17% for the day. In pre-market trading on Tuesday, the stock dipped 0.83% to $326.40. Year to date, Tesla shares are down 13.22%, or $50.15.

Elon Musk Claps Back At Trump's 'Big-Time Drug Addict' Jibe, Says He Tested Negative For Over 20 Substances

U.S. stock futures were trading lower on Tuesday following Monday&#8217;s advance. Futures of major benchmark indices were lower in premarket.
President Donald Trump called on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/45964856/trump-asks-everyone-to-immediately-evacuate-tehran-odds-of-us-striking-iran-spike-on-crypto-betting-platform">Iranians to leave Tehran</a>, pointing to the government&#8217;s refusal to accept a deal aimed at limiting nuclear weapons development, amid ongoing attacks between Israel and Iran that marked the fifth consecutive day on Tuesday.
At the G7 summit in Canada, world leaders urged a reduction in tensions during the most severe clash ever between these regional adversaries, labeling Iran as a source of instability and insisting it must never acquire nuclear weapons, while also recognizing Israel&#8217;s right to self-defense.
Trump took to Truth Social on Monday to clarify his abrupt departure from the G7 Summit in Canada. He refuted Macron's claim that he was returning to Washington to negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. "He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that," Trump wrote.
Trump had previously urged citizens of Tehran, Iran's capital, to evacuate immediately, indicating a potential U.S. involvement in the conflict.
Meanwhile, President Trump, while on Air Force One returning from the G-7 summit, told reporters he is seeking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45968002/trump-says-israel-iran-ceasefire-not-on-the-table-left-g7-early-for-a-much-bigger-reason-spy-qqq">&#8220;a real end&#8221; to Iran&#8217;s nuclear issue</a>, with Tehran giving it up &#8220;entirely.&#8221;
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.43% and the two-year bond was at 3.96%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 99.9% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
Despite the dominating geopolitical headlines, a senior economist at WisdomTree, Jeremy Siegel, told investors that they need to focus on the more meaningful development: &#8220;the continued softening of inflation data.&#8221;
&#8220;Both CPI and PPI came in on the low side, confirming the disinflationary trend that's been evident. These price increases have not yet fully worked their way into the data and are likely to show up over the next couple of months. Even so, the underlying trend is down (excluding tariff impacts coming up). My view remains firm: ex-tariffs, inflation is cooling, and the Fed should begin easing policy,&#8221; he said.
He said that he remains &#8220;optimistic&#8221; about the stock market. &#8220;Markets have shown impressive resilience, inflation is heading in the right direction, and the Fed will ultimately come along. Stay focused on fundamentals and avoid getting whipsawed by noise,&#8221; he added.
Meanwhile, Jeff Buchbinder, the chief equity strategist at LPL Financial explained that there are several key questions to answer before we know how stocks will handle this geopolitical shock, including how much of Iran's energy infrastructure will be impaired and for how long, whether Iran's nuclear capabilities will be completely wiped out, and whether the current regime will remain in power.
For those surprised that the U.S. stock market held up well on Monday, Buchbinder argued that it was a combination of several factors:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The likelihood of regime change in Iran and a resulting "peace dividend",</li>
<li>U.S. energy independence,</li>
<li>Israel's interest in limiting the suffering of Iranian civilians (which could mean limited disruption to oil production facilities), and</li>
<li>Both players have limited resources and an interest in keeping the conflict contained.</li>
</ul>

US Stock Futures Tumble After Trump Threatens 'Real End' To Iran's Nuclear Problem: '…Avoid Getting Whipsawed By Noise,' Says Expert

RTX's Unit Pratt & Whitney Says It Added ITP Aero To GTF MRO Network For Airbus A220 And Embraer E2 Engine Maintenance

U.S. President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;has dismissed French President Emmanuel Macron&#8216;s assertion that he left the G7 Summit for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, hinting at a more significant reason for his return to Washington.
What Happened:&nbsp;Trump took to Truth Social on Monday to clarify his abrupt departure from the G7 Summit in Canada. He refuted Macron&#8217;s claim that he was returning to Washington to negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. &#8220;He has no idea why&nbsp;I am now on my&nbsp;way to Washington, but it&nbsp;certainly has nothing to do&nbsp;with a Cease Fire.

Trump&#8217;s post comes amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, with the conflict between Israel and Iran entering its fifth day. Trump had previously urged citizens of Tehran, Iran&#8217;s capital, to evacuate immediately, indicating a potential U.S. involvement in the conflict.
Meanwhile, President Trump, while on Air Force One returning from the G-7 summit, told reporters he is seeking "a real end" to Iran's nuclear issue, with Tehran giving it up "entirely," rather than merely agreeing to a ceasefire with Israel, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-real-end-iran-nuclear-program/?intcid=CNI-00-10aaa3a">reported </a>CBS News
&#8220;I didn&#8217;t say I was looking for a ceasefire,&#8221; Trump clarified to the reporters.

This move comes as accusations regarding Iran&#8217;s nuclear ambitions intensify.
Trump&#8217;s post suggests that his return to Washington might be related to these escalating tensions, but the exact reason remains unclear. &#8220;Stay Tuned!&#8221; he concluded his post.
During the Tuesday pre-market trading session, Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) and SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) are trading lower by 0.59% and 0.56%, respectively.

Immuneering Corporation, a clinical-stage oncology company outpacing cancer to help patients outlive their disease, today announced positive data from its ongoing Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating atebimetinib (IMM-1-104), an oral, once-daily novel MEK inhibitor, in combination with modified gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (mGnP) in first-line pancreatic cancer patients.
"These exceptional data demonstrate the potential of atebimetinib plus mGnP to dramatically extend the lives of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer," said Ben Zeskind, Ph.D., Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Immuneering. "94% overall survival at 6 months is remarkable in first-line pancreatic cancer patients. Atebimetinib was designed to deliver exceptional durability and tolerability to a broad range of patients with different cancers, and it is deeply gratifying to see evidence of that playing out first in one of the most aggressive and deadly types of cancer. Our ultimate goal is to help cancer patients outlive their disease, and today's announcement represents an important milestone on that journey."

원격 근무와 사무실 근무 의무에 대한 논쟁이 계속되는 가운데, 비바 시스템즈(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VEEV#NYSE">VEEV</a>), 클라우드 기반 소프트웨어 회사가 주목받고 있습. 이는 원격 근무(WFH) 정책을 수용하는 것이 어떻게 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/09/40887347/amazon-to-cut-management-layers-end-work-from-home" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">성공적인 전략이 될 수 있는지</a>를 보여주는 대표적인 사례이다.
비바는 2024년 원격 채용 공고가 가장 많았으며 연간 급여가 55,000~300,000달러에 달하는 역할을 제공했다고 포춘(Fortune)이 <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/01/24/veeva-most-remote-job-postings-wfh-rto/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">보도</a>하며 플렉스잡스(FlexJobs)를 인용했다. 이는 유연성을 추구하는 구직자들에게 회사를 매우 매력적으로 만들었다. 특히 고용 시장이 보수가 좋은 원격 기회에 여전히 굶주려 있기 때문에 더욱 그렇다.
원격 근무가 주식 수익률을 높일까?
비바의 원격 근무 성공 사례는 직원들에게만 이로운 것이 아니라, 포춘이 덧붙인 바와 같이 건전한 비즈니스 전략이기도 하다. 연구에 따르면, 원격 근무 옵션을 제공하는 회사들이 더 나은 주식 수익률을 기록하고 더 높은 질의 인재를 유치하는 경향이 있다.
멜버른 대학교의 금융학 조교수 가브리엘레 라탄지오(Gabriele Lattanzio)가 발표한 <a href="https://editorialexpress.com/cgi-bin/conference/download.cgi?db_name=SIEP2021&amp;paper_id=58" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">논문</a>에 따르면, 원격 근무를 제공하는 회사들이 시장을 초과하여 7.44% 더 높은 수익률을 기록했다.
이러한 회사들은 또한 더 좋은 수익 결과와 긍정적인 주가 반응을 보였다.
<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">벤징가 프로</a>에 따르면, VEEV 주식은 지난 1년 동안 7% 이상 상승했다. 투자자들은 First Trust Nasdaq Lux Digital Health Solutions ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EKG#NASDAQ">EKG</a>)를 통해 이 주식에 투자할 수 있다.
비바의 원격 근무 유연성 vs JP모건의 사무실 의무:
2007년에 설립된 비바의 원격 중심 접근 방식은 회사의 문화에 처음부터 뿌리내려 있었다. 창립자들이 회사 초기 몇 년 동안 서로 다른 도시에서 운영되었기 때문이다.
하지만 비바의 전략은 직원의 반발에 직면한 JP모건 체이스 &amp; 컴퍼니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>)와는 뚜렷한 대조를 이룬다. JP모건은 최근 직원들에게 주 5일 사무실 복귀를 요구하는 의무를 부과하여 큰 반발을 사고 있다. 이는 포춘이 이달 초 보도한 바 있다.
JPM 주식은 지난 1년 동안 53% 이상 상승했다. 투자자들은 iShares U.S. Financial Services ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYG#NYSE">IYG</a>)를 통해 이 주식에 투자할 수 있다.
실제로 알파벳(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), 마이크로소프트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) 및 골드만삭스 그룹(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>)과 같은 주요 기업들은 직원들의 광범위한 저항에도 불구하고 사무실 복귀(RTO) 정책을 추진하고 있다.
이 회사의 직원들은 불만을 표시하며, 일부는 청원이나 퇴사를 통해 항의하기도 했다고 포춘이 덧붙였다.
일의 미래: 원격 근무가 자리잡을 수 있을까?
연구에 따르면, 주 2일 재택 근무를 하는 직원들은 매일 사무실에 출근하는 직원들과 동일한 생산성을 보인다고 한다. 이는 포브스가 Resume.org의 설문조사를 인용하여 보도한 내용이다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 28%의 비즈니스 리더가 2025년까지 100% 대면 근무를 강제할 계획인 반면, 2%만이 주 1일 미만의 사무실 근무를 허용할 것이다.
일의 미래가 진화함에 따라, 비바의 원격 근무를 통한 직원 행복과 생산성에 대한 집중은 점점 더 경쟁이 치열해지는 노동 시장에서 회사를 차별화하고 있다.
