How the global pandemic changed the workplace and is defining a new purpose of the office.
02 septembre 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has upended work and office life, becoming a powerful catalyst for workplace change. Within a matter of weeks, the coronavirus crisis forced much of the global workforce to embrace remote working. This sudden and extreme shift has raised many questions about the sustainability of this new way of working, particularly in terms of workplace productivity. More fundamentally, it has led many to query the role and purpose of physical offices in the future. Our research, involving over 3,000 employees from diverse industries across the globe, demonstrates that physical offices will remain critical in ensuring organizational success in the post-pandemic world. It also highlights imperatives for optimizing remote workers’ experience and enhancing human performance and productivity in the future workplace.

71% worked from home during the pandemic

Only 48% felt more productive at home vs. in the office
