With more people getting vaccinated and the US economy coming back to life, companies are working on plans to reopen offices sometime in 2021. Most people have enjoyed working from home, even though it meant juggling parenting duties while kids learned virtually, sharing Internet bandwidth, and being around your family 24/7.
A January 2021 survey by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) found that 83% of employers say remote work has been successful for their company. While COVID-19 did present work challenges, a survey by Yoh found that 39% of Americans employed last year have found new ways to be more flexible and adaptable in their jobs, 73% felt they had not grown professionally as a result of working from home. That summarizes the good news and bad news.
