A Human Return to the Office
In 2020, the transition to working from home was not a choice; it was a necessity, and a change that occurred nearly overnight, without warning, and that many experienced as significantly disruptive. The transition back to the office could also feel this way but does not have to. In fact, it can happen strategically and mindfully, setting leaders and teams up for success.
Employees have enjoyed the flexibility of working from home so much that one survey of 1,000 U.S. adults found 39% would consider quitting if their employers weren’t flexible about remote work moving forward.
Studies show a consistent list of concerns employees have about returning to the office, such as being nervous about health risks, being unsure how to navigate differing politics around masks ordinances, or having anxiety about being around people.
