There seem to be a few things that are more difficult for employees who are already used to working remotely to return to the office. However, there are many good reasons for this. Perhaps best of all, in many cases, employees are just as productive - if not more so - when they travel to your office to sit in the attic eight hours five days a week.

However, there are good reasons why you might want your team to return to the office. Some specific roles and groups benefit from personal interaction. No matter how accustomed to meeting Zoom, they will never replace private relationship-building conversations. Other types of collaboration are even easier when you are together in a room.

Therefore, finding a balance between the needs of your business and the needs and desires of individual members of your team is one of the most difficult challenges for many leaders today. This is true for small businesses and big businesses.
