Technology and innovation continues to untether the workforce - dramatically changing how and where people work and live.  Flexibility and amenities in the home and office matter to not only millennials but to workers and employers of all generations. Everyone is now embracing the notion that it’s okay to choose how and where to work.  If provided correctly, a happier and more productive workforce will be the result.

Location
There is no denying that flexible shared office space is on the rise.  Yet even with hockey stick like growth, at least one survey demonstrated that “home” is still the most popular remote work location with more than 75% of respondents citing their home as their primary remote workplace.

Lonley No More
While the benefits to working remotely can be great (short or non-existent commute, ability to spend time with family, flexible schedule etc.) there can certainly be downsides to working from home.  Loneliness, in particular, has been cited as one of the biggest detractors.  One of the greatest solutions to combat loneliness is the opportunity to get involved with a community and to build new relationships - exactly the type of things 1776 campuses are designed to cultivate.
