Workers around the world are experiencing a return to the office after a long period of remote work. Cynthia Klimnz, an employee of the organization 'Abdnent Housin Il.Ai', admits that for her, two days in the office during the week feels like a return to school. According to the American newspaper 'Los Angeles Times', four years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of remote work, conflicts between management and employees remain on the agenda. More than 80% of American companies have developed policies for returning to the office, but only 17% of them have successfully implemented it, according to a study by the real estate company CBRE. Many managers are trying to strike a balance between the satisfaction of their own interests and the needs of employees, seeking an optimal solution for all. A survey conducted among 225 directors of American real estate companies showed that 60% of them would like to see employees in the office three days a week, while only 51% of employees were ready for such a schedule. Statistics also show that 37% work in the office one or two days a week, and only 17% of management are satisfied with such distribution. Many companies are actively exploring the possibility of reducing office space to cut rental costs, which typically make up a significant part of expenses after salary. Some firms attempt to motivate and encourage employees to visit the office more frequently by creating more attractive working conditions or implementing mandatory measures to support actual office activity.
