● “Even for those companies that are
planning a return to the office, it could
still take months or even years to

normal” (Dickler). As stated, companies
aren’t quick to relinquish the old or
current dependency with respect to
virtual work.
● “Employers expect nearly 2 in 5
employees will still be working remotely
at the end of 2021, compared with 57%
who work remotely now...according to a
recent report by Willis Towers Watson, a
