COVID-19 impact: Work from home more appealing than return to 'business as usual,' Harvard survey shows

As COVID-19 forced companies to let employees work remotely and presented new challenges such as readjusting their home life and fighting Zoom fatigue from numerous virtual meetings, most of the 1,500 people surveyed say they excelled and even grew in their professions.
