Some workers can’t wait to get back to the office

While some employees are enjoying the flexibility of working from home, Janell Longa can’t wait to return to the office. “I am really keen to get back to the office,” said Sarah Williams, associate director of the Business School, University of Wolverhampton, UK, who’s been working from home for more than a year. “For me, that blurring of the lines between home and work has been tough because I’ve felt like I am living at work rather than working at home.” Since working remotely, her days tend to be dominated by back-to-back meetings, which don’t leave a lot of time to step away from her home office. Courtesy Samuel Williams “So you aren’t actually getting a chance to process anything or start to work on anything until after the working day, because the working day is spent in meetings,” she said. “People who are starting new jobs, it’s very difficult in a remote work environment,” said Erica Volini, Deloitte’s Global Human Capital leader.
