The lockdown of 2020 and the pandemic accelerated the change in work and working habits as many were locked in doors but businesses still tried to run.
Before this, working from home was a “nice to have” alternative or an extended leash companies used to get employees to work extra hours at home after closing from the office.
Post-pandemic, working from home has become a new normal and many employees have this as their preferred work format.
