Returning
Business leaders who think employees will be happy to return to office-work-as-usual are in for a big surprise. There is already talk of The Great Resignation, as people reconsider their options. Pre-COVID research by Stanford University of 16,000 employees found that working from home increased productivity by 13% and cut attrition in half. Admittedly, many are feeling online fatigue, and home offices are not ideal for those with young families or inadequate space and equipment. At the same time, many of us have come to value and expect the flexibility and time- and carbon-saving benefits of a mobile office.
