66% of Canadians in a recent KPMG survey say they're satisfied with their current virtual work from home environment but 63% want to return to their physical workplace or office space due to challenges such as virtual fatigue, mental health and social withdrawal.

In fact, these competing preferences have given rise to a new and evolving hybrid workplace, and 71 percent of surveyed Canadians believe hybrid work should be the new standard.
