The COVID-19 pandemic has change every aspect of our work and life. In response to the national and local containment policies, companies, organizations, and institutions encouraged employees to work remotely at home to stay safe. Work from home (WFH) emerged in the early 2000s when telecommuting technologies developed. Workers could use WFH to avoid commuting, provide flexible schedules, and achieve a better work-life balance.1,2 During the COVID-19 pandemic, many workers were advised to WFH full time, which redefined the conventional concept of WFH that was typical only for certain types of work, on an occasional basis, or given unique employee circumstances. Many companies believe that WFH will become more common after the pandemic because employers have already paid the fixed cost to set up remote work systems for their employees.3 Companies are now determining if operational costs could be dramatically decreased by reducing the required office space.
