Our collective global experience working from home during the global pandemic showed that, despite all our virtual tools, some level of face-to-face collaboration is needed in the long run. A study by workplace forum Blind showed that 56 per cent of employees<\/a> report feeling more anxiety as a result of remote working, and 53 per cent said productivity has declined due to mental health issues from working from home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business leaders have speculated that permanent virtual work could lead to a decline in innovation and creativity<\/a>, since we all miss out on the planned and spontaneous in-person interactions that spark them. Another consideration: studies show many employees would prefer to be back in the office<\/a> for at least some of the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But bringing people back to the office<\/a> during a pandemic will require brand-new workplace strategies<\/a>. Offices need to be less dense<\/a> so that employees can stay socially distanced. That means no more mega headquarters. Commutes<\/a> will also have to be shorter and rely on less-crowded forms of transportation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
