When the coronavirus pandemic sent countless white collar workers home to work remotely, both business leaders and employees had to acclimate. From technology to workflow, it seemed like every aspect of the workday required readjusting. According to data from the inaugural Microsoft Corp. Work Trend Index, whose results were released in March, more than 40% of the global workforce reported they are considering leaving their employer in 2021, with 46% reporting they plan to move because they are now able to work remotely. This could have major implications for companies stationed in cities and other industry hubs around the country, where housing and living costs are often more expensive than in other regions.
