**The constant state of change leaves many wondering, "Will we ever get back to the office?"**

Fortunately, remote work proved to be a reliable solution to keep work going, and mostly, it's been a great. It helped us adapt and showed us we could stay productive.

But there is something missing. 

And that something is ***purpose***.

Because of the pandemic, we realized work isn't only about staying productive. The purpose of our work extends far beyond a completed to-do list day after day. The value of our work is more than productivity alone. 

*That's* why people want to return to the office. 

We get inspired and find new ideas when we're together. We need people in the same place at the same time to create change and build trust. Some things can't happen unless we're together.

So will we get back to the office? Yes, *a resounding yes.*

When we do, we'll need to support a hybrid workforce more than ever and connect everyone from wherever they are.
