Overview
This summer, we sent out a survey to our clients and those in our
network to find out how companies are preparing for their return
to the office in a post-COVID world.
What's clear from the results is that the future of the workplace will
look very different. As businesses plan their return to the office, they
are looking to new policies and measures to protect their employees
in addition to hybrid models where employees will not be required
to be in the office full-time. Read on for our key takeaways!
