Gensler{\textquoteright}s U.S. Work from Home Survey 2020 was conducted to help provide greater insight into the work from home experience and how the workplace will be designed in the post-COVID world. As a result, we are building a better understanding of how to address pre-pandemic workplace issues, including the need for more space, less desk sharing, and more autonomy. The study that surveyed 2,300+ full-time U.S. office workers at companies of 100 or more people from April 16 to May 4 found that only 12\% of U.S. workers want to work from home full-time. Before this experience, only one in ten U.S. office workers had regularly worked from home, and less than a third previously had the option to work from home. What our research found is that people overwhelmingly want to return to the office. Most people want to return to the workplace, but with significant changes to address distancing as well as concerns over growing densification prior to the pandemic. The study found that 70\% of people want to work in the office for the majority of their week. However, they want to see changes from the pre-pandemic density levels, ensuring there is more space for physical distancing while addressing noise and cleaning protocols.}, keywords = {COVID-19, Work from home}, url = {https://www.gensler.com/research-insight/blog/insights-from-genslers-u-s-work-from-home-survey-2020}, author = {Andy Cohen and Diane Hoskins} }
