TO THE

OFFICE

According to the Experts

As countries all over the world grapple with the thorny topic of returning to the office , the debate over how , when , and whether we need to come back at all is still going strong .

Akhtar , Channel Manager , UK at Envoy
One thing I ’ ve learned from the pandemic is that employees want and expect the freedom to choose how , when , and where they work . And for many , that means a hybrid work schedule . They also expect to return to a safe environment .
Clarity and Accountability are Key
Simon O ’ Kane , Head of EMEA at Asana
