  With the two-year mark of the COVID-19 pandemic approaching, so too is the two-year anniversary of working from home for employees across many different sectors. While the pandemic continues to unfold, companies are fine-tuning their return-to-work plans, with many opting for a hybrid policy where employees work both remotely and in person.  As a company that creates solutions to help enable teams to do their best work from anywhere, Zoom wanted to check back in with workers on how they feel about their work environment. We partnered with Momentive (formerly SurveyMonkey) in 2021 to find out  how workers felt about hybrid work  and did so again this year to see how those opinions have evolved. Here are a few of the key insights from the  2022 report .  Where do they want to be? Absence appears to make the heart grow fonder regarding workers’ feelings about returning to the office.  Thirty-eight percent  of respondents said that working full-time from the office or workplace would be

Long hours on campus attending faculty meetings, holding office hours, conducting research, and planning lessons — all in addition to time spent in the classroom — have contributed to stress and overwork for educators, making  faculty burnout  a common topic of concern even pre-pandemic.  With the uncertainties of the past two years, faculty have been asked to do even more, including learning new technologies and finding new ways to engage students through a computer screen. They’ve had to adapt their lessons on the fly as colleges and universities have gone from in-person to emergency remote learning, and most recently, to hybrid learning, all in the name of health or student-requested flexibility. Consequently,  disengagement  and  low morale  are on the rise.  There are many factors that contribute to burnout, so it’s important to understand the root causes, listen to faculty members, and determine how to best support them. If work-life balance, time management, and on-campus health
