The abrupt shift to working from home caught a lot of employers and employees off-guard, but after weeks of practice, employees now say they feel right at home in the home office. In its recent COVID-19 Pandemic Pulse Survey, Quantum Workplace asked more than 40,000 respondents how working from home was going.
