The traditional office might be on its way toward extinction. According to a 2018 IWG study that surveyed over 18,000 professionals from 96 countries, more than two-thirds of the global workforce works remotely at least part of the week. A similar study released in 2019 found that the number of people who regularly work from home has increased by 173 percent since 2005 and that desks in the offices of Fortune 1000 companies are vacant 50 to 60 percent of the time.
