Businesses Aren’t Using as Much Office Space as Hybrid Work Takes Hold

The COVID-19 pandemic had many businesses switch to remote or hybrid workplace functions, something which has had a significant impact on the way that employees prefer to work. Many of them have simply not returned to the office, or they have returned in a more limited capacity. Following this trend is a decrease in the amount of space offices use to fulfill their daily operations.

The question then becomes one of how you can best help your employees, especially when remote and hybrid operations are on the rise and there is a considerable cost savings associated with remote and hybrid operations.
