As offices reopen, employers adapt to a changing work world
Michelle Jarboe/Crain's Cleveland Business
Pedestrian activity is picking up in downtown Cleveland, where employers brought back a wave of office workers this month.
White-collar workers are trickling back to offices across the region, after nearly a year-and-a-half spent in spare bedrooms or basements.
But employers aren't taking a one-size-fits-all approach to reopening.
In a competitive labor market, where flexibility has become more of an expectation than a perk, some companies are going fully remote. Others are experimenting with hybrid schedules. A few are reimagining office layouts to reflect new ways of working.
