David Robert, Loeb's chief strategy officer, analyzed the data and said, "what struck me was the low percentage of firm leaders who have a clear understanding of what a return to the office will look like. It's a real opportunity."

David Sarnoff, Director of Strategic Partnerships for Loeb Leadership said that in his opinion, "given that the data indicates many employees want to continue working from home, at least part time, there will be ongoing challenges to cultivating high trust relationships that are vital to building effective teams."  He added, "typically, these relationships have been cultivated by mostly "in person" communication, but with the right facilitation, can be improved on a virtual platform."

Loeb Leadership's Founder and CEO, Natalie Loeb, stated that, "People need to feel both physically and psychologically safe in order to show up and perform at a high level. Because of the anxiety and uncertainty raised by the pandemic, leaders will need to plan for the return to the office sooner rather than later so that necessary precautions and practices are put into place to demonstrate that they care about their people's financial, mental and physical healthy."
