3 months has changed many of us in big ways. One of the biggest areas that Americans are reassessing is how and where we live.
With stay at home orders forcing many businesses to become more dependent on technology, operations have changed dramatically across the country.
Many businesses have decided to go entirely or partially remote, which removes the need for the same amount of physical office space, if any, and the associated cost.
This can be good for both corporations and their employees who, overwhelmingly, have expressed that they would like to continue working from home.
In turn, many have said that they would change locations if they continue to work from home, moving away from big cities and into suburban areas with more space.
“So far, surveys show that employees are happily embracing the trend, but perhaps it will take more time to uncover some of the risks.
For instance, in the office there is a physical hierarchy, such as corner offices, which are opaque in a remote work environment. But less tangible are the social and emotional benefits of connecting to colleagues that may have a bigger impact on work results.
Despite the things remote work can’t deliver, Onorato predicts that the shift we are experiencing will last beyond the health risk of the pandemic.”
