After more than a year of working from home, employees no longer really want to go to the office every day.
Why Employees Don't Want to Return to the Office
Before the pandemic, working from home was relatively rare. It was seen as laziness or detrimental to teamwork. And yet, when most of the workforce was forced to work remotely, we found that people were getting more done, in less time, and without the long hours lost to commuting.
Now bosses want people back in the office, but workers are willing to leave rather than comply. The balance of power has shifted. Are we seeing a turning point in office culture?
“I think the world has changed. The pandemic has accelerated a trend that was already happening,” Thejo Kote, CEO of Airbase, an accounting platform company with about 100 employees in nine countries, told Lifewire via email.
