to answer the question i spoke to a professor of management and also the director at the water centre for human resources.- for human resources. what happened _ for human resources. what happened around _ for human resources. what happened around the - for human resources. whatj happened around the world during the pandemic is that employees were sent home to work full—time, remotely. most of the employees currently working remotely, ithink, have an arrangement more or less like that, roughly at home as much as they want to be. employers have been trying to get them to come back, mainly a few days a week. there are not that many who have brought all of their employees back all of the time. what most employers want frankly is keep what they have got, rather than anything new. , ., have got, rather than anything new. ,, ., , , new. should employers be lookin: new. should employers be looking at _ new. should employers be looking at regularising - new. should employers be looking at regularising the| looking at regularising the aspects of remote walking or is it better to get them back in the office?— the office?
