As the coronavirus pandemic has forced many to work remotely, professionals see their relationship with the office changing after COVID-19.

In a survey of 600+ U.K. office workers, we discovered a workforce fully embracing the flexibility remote work offers and rethinking the value of going back to the office after COVID-19.

That’s not to say people don’t plan to head back to the office. They do. Overwhelmingly, professionals view the office as a critical place to meaningfully connect with colleagues.
