When the pandemic first began, many were convinced the work-from-home grind was going to be a temporary fix with a long-term solution. Yet nearly six months later, companies across the country are starting to make changes to their structure, adapting hybrid models of in-person and at-home office hours, and even dismissing leases in big-city office buildings to transfer to a completely remote structure.
According to Global Workplace Analytics, a research and consulting firm that helps employers understand and prepare for the future of work, it is expected that 25% to 30% of the workforce will be working at home on a multiple-days-a-week basis by the end of 2021.
