For two years, employers nationwide have dreaded and resisted the so-called “return-to-work.” But now that it’s here, the Great Return is shaping up to be far less dramatic than the Great Resignation.

Nearly half of workers said that casual interactions with colleagues are the most exciting part of returning to work, while 47% said they just needed to get out of the house.
