We are in the midst of a conundrum playing out between post-pandemic employees, (who kinda got used to the idea of working remotely in their pajamas) and businesses large and small who have seen negative impacts of remote work in various ways: productivity, bottom line, and company culture. Companies are strategizing on how to get employees back in to the workplace.
While you can find research to back up either party’s side, I wish to weigh -in as an advocate for a 3rd side: the side of our bodies, which have suffered from remote work, sitting at a computer for vast, unbroken long shifts and Zoom meetings. Or worse: working on our laptop on our squishy couch.
