Return to office (RTO) post-pandemic is happening at different paces globally, with Asia and Europe ahead due to varying COVID-19 responses and workplace norms.
Regional factors like culture, transportation, home office setups, and industry types are influencing RTO rates. Some European countries are implementing flexible work laws.
Commercial real estate markets are facing potential losses of up to $1.3 trillion by 2030, reshaping how offices are used and valued.
Legislative efforts, such as the "right to disconnect," are changing the work landscape, but asynchronous work and digital nomads are also altering traditional office dynamics.
