The Great Renegotiation – redefining office work
After the first wave of the pandemic subsided, many employers were eager to call their workers back to the office. They were surprised by the number of employees who did not return.

Many enjoyed working from home and found that they were just as, if not more, productive. Many workers were fighting burn-out and stress from the pandemic while others found that time away from the office helped them to decide to do something else.
