The future of work was already trending toward a more flexible model, and COVID accelerated that trend. A hybrid model means it is harder to facilitate a sense of connection and belonging; and intentionally get to know colleagues and feel part of a collective culture.

Dispersed employees are having difficulty making connections and feeling a sense of belonging and a part of a collective culture. Employees have also voiced that they value accessible, inclusive and equitable connected ways of working in a hybrid model.

There are many different resources available spread all over the internet. I wanted to create a site that would compile these resources to one place. Most of my survey participants stated that they like to workout when they started to feel anxious and others said being outside or near the sun.

80% of W-F-H mothers wanted to make connections with other mothers working from home.

50% of users said they found it challenging to find time for themselves during the week.

30% of users found that maintaining friendships after having children was hard.
