Some companies have already begun allowing employees back to the office, while others are just starting to consider what a return will look like. No matter what stage you are in, determining your workplace of the future should be driven by the needs of your employees. The Covid-19 pandemic served as a moment of clarity for employees. Many found increased flexibility and productivity by working remotely and don’t want to return to the office. Others realized they thrive with face-to-face collaboration in the office without the distractions they may encounter at home.
