Do You Have a Company Culture Employees Want to Come Back To?

Recent survey results from PwC tell us that since the Coronavirus pandemic, 77% of employees would like to work from home at least two days a week. There are real, tangible reasons people may want to work from home—reduced commuting time and expense, and concerns over exposure to COVID-19 among them.

But there are also drawbacks to working remotely. In its State of Remote Work survey, Buffer found that the inability to unplug, loneliness, and difficulty collaborating were top barriers to remote work cited by employees. Those are some fairly impactful issues.
