Interesting development. It seems companies can't just require people to come into the office, they must justify that decision when people are already working successfully from home.

Apparently, the study was done at the University of South Australia.

Only nine per cent of Canadian workers prefer to work in the office full-time, according to a survey by the Angus Reid Institute published in July.

“People that had access to remote, flexible options were far more likely to stay home from work when they were sick and also keep their kids home from [school?] when they were sick,”
Early returns to office meant parents who no longer had the flexibility of remote work ran out of sick days, which eventually led them to sending their children to school when they were ill … Rather than the illness being contained at home, kids are at risk of spreading it on to each other and other families. Similarly, parents who run out of sick days and come into work may spread their illness to their colleagues.
