Over the last few years, the workplace has experienced a radical change at a scale, unseen for generations, and we learned that entire companies can ‘work from home’ and still function. Today, many leaders want their employees back in the office, at least part of the time, as they seek to build stronger organizational cultures, improve collaboration, reduce silos and exert control. At the same time, many organizations have streamlined their physical operations, often reducing their overall real estate footprint and services to decrease operating cost. Employees now face a juxtaposition of being asked to increase attendance at the office as it shrinks around them.
