Return-to-office mandates are just a blip; Setting your alarm before sunrise and standing shoulder-to-shoulder on a packed train, just to sit at a desk for eight hours, is going to be a relic of the past. And it’s going to be extinct much sooner than you probably expect.
According to Mark Dixon, CEO of IWG, the world’s largest workspace provider, commuting could be extinct within the next 15 years. Gen Alpha will be so used to pulling out their phones and clocking into work from anywhere convenient, that they’ll find the very idea of commuting into an office as ancient as riding a horse to work, or writing by candlelight before electricity existed.
