Unquestionably, COVID-19 has dramatically changed the way we work and our concept of the workplace. But the question that businesses are now wrestling with is, how those changes will affect offices as they reopen?
Real estate giant Cushman & Wakefield recently published The Future of Workplace, surveying more than 40,000 people globally about their work experiences during the pandemic to assess how employees are coping and what the new normal will look like. (The respondents represent approximately 30 companies across nearly 20 industries.)
