With Twitter recently announcing that employees can stay remote workers after stay-at-home orders lift, the coronavirus epidemic may shift how and whether companies lease office space in the future.
According to a report by The Verge, another major tech company, Square, also followed in Twitter's footsteps and announced that its employees will also stay remote workers after quarantines are lifted.
However, not all employees and companies may follow suit. According to a report by JLL, only 4.9% of office employees would prefer exclusively working from home permanently. About 60% of office workers would prefer to work remotely a portion of the week, and still go into an office the remainder of the week. And 34.5% expected to return to working in an office as they had done before the pandemic hit.
