Linda Trim, director at workspace design consultancy Giant Leap which represents Steelcase in South Africa, said: “For every CEO you hear from who loves their new, remote or hybrid setup, you hear from five who don’t. For many who sent their people home, it’s proving tough to get them back.”
“Businesses need to think differently about getting people back into the office. They need to think of it as earning the commute of workers who would rather stay home.”
“Offices need will need to compete with — and beat — the alternatives.”
