After a few starts and stalls, the return to the office is finally underway.
The last few years have been a time of immense disruption. As businesses gear up for the next evolution of work, there is a growing chasm between employers and employees.
Business leaders are eager to have employees back in the office to maintain their corporate culture and identity. Employees are in no rush to head back for one simple reason: their needs and perceptions of work and the workplace have changed forever. They want flexibility on how, when, and where to work. A tight labor market combined with a tough economic climate, including inflation, and growing pressures to drive profits and shareholder value are creating further challenges for businesses.
