These new technologies help us engage one another in a safe and collaborative matter that will enable us to re-create / im- prove upon the vibrant commu- nities we had or wished for , even pre-pandemic .

The Bottom Line :
The return of the office work- space is here to stay - and wel- comed by many of us .
We believe that even the most reluctant employees will even- tually come around – once they see and experience the benefits of security entrances , safety , other workplace technology , and additional perks .
Workplaces are safer and more secure , and indications are that we are all more productive at the office among our peers . And wonderful new tenant engage- ment apps help increase en- gagement , promote healthy lives , and support much-need- ed separation between work and home .
Welcome back to the office , everybody !
