I think so, for knowledge workers, anyway.
Quote: Adrian Reece, Principal Statistical Consultant at Salesforce added that workers in 2021 are looking to improve on their work autonomy and not have their freedoms regressed back into an office. "Research prior to the pandemic demonstrates the positive impact working from home has on an employee's job satisfaction; research during the pandemic has shown people are more productive at home than they were in the office. Hybrid in-person/telecommuting models are here to stay and represent the new frontier in work engagement and performance management research," said Reece.
I think I like the line “freedoms regressed back into an office.” I have no problems going into the office, but I do want the flexibility to work from home, where I know I can and am productive.
