More than just a desk: Giles Fuchs in CoStar

It is no secret that remote work has taken a toll on the UK’s workforce. With our recent survey finding that 37% of remote workers felt unable to unplug from work at home and that almost half have experienced loneliness over lockdown, it is no wonder that 95% of workers favoured a return to the office in the long-term.
