    Wfh doesn’t work for a lot of people (kids, distractions, etc.) so I don’t think it’s a sustainable model in the long-run. Once COVID-19 is completely over, we’ll be back in the office. Moreover, not all meetings are suitable for virtual meetings, the face to face, in-person element is necessary.

      You have a point but a lot of companies are now noticing the benefits of having their employees WFH. No office rent, electricity, water and wifi costs to pay for. Employees that can’t work from home will probably be encouraged to find a co-working space

      @K C That may be true but not sure how that will impact employee morale – some, perhaps most, prefer to work in the office and are more productive in the office. Best case scenario is that COVID-19 has accelerated the opportunity for wfh which means more flexibility for the employee to choose between the office and work from home. But if it’s WFH or nothing, then I think that model will run into problems.

      That’s he is saying only 20-25% of people will go to office. Many myself included still prefer WFH. True there will always be meetings that can’t be done virtually and for that employees will come once in a while to offices but not every single day.

    What he’s saying is kind of obvious. Some companies are even surprised of the ratio of productivity versus the cost savings in getting whole buildings up and running 24/7. What’s for sure is there is no way back, at least not without taking in account this type of unprecedented issues, building new businesse continuation policies. In the first days of the global lock down home offices goods did well on Amazon etc.
