Gone are the days when the employers offer professionals a unique blend of flexibility and autonomy with their work schedules — and yet, the push to get employees back to the office is getting more aggressive. 

Since COVID-19 restrictions eased, many companies are calling their employees back to the office. According to Forbes, nine out of ten companies required employees to return to office. In the past, it was commonly assumed that having a job required working from an office. Nowadays, it’s a negotiation. As a result, work arrangements now offer multiple options, including occasional office visits. 

While some excel in a remote setting, others thrive in the traditional office environment. Factors such as social interaction, access to resources, and a structured workday influence employees’ preferences. Recognizing and accommodating these differences is essential for creating a work culture that values individual needs and fosters productivity.
