Microsoft announced that next Monday more workers may return to its headquarters in Redmond, Washington, given the weakening in the productivity of its employees by the home office.

While acknowledging that work life will not be the same as it will develop again before the COVID-19 pandemic, the technology company pointed out that the challenges imposed by working at home have been a real challenge for its employees who have to get around various distractions.

Microsoft announced that in this first stage of reincorporation it will give 57 thousand non-essential employees the option to work from home while those who decide to go to the office will have to continue observing the sanitary conditions to prevent infections.

The company indicated that the massive return to the offices will occur once COVID-19 is an endemic disease and does not put the population at risk.

US President Joe Biden estimated that normality in work will occur from July 4 despite the existence of variants of the virus.

A few weeks ago, at a conference held within the framework of the World Economic Forum, the CEO of Barclays Plc, Jes Staley, considered that working from home is not a model that is sustainable.

According to Bloomberg, Mary Erdoes, the executive of JPMorgan Chase Asset and Wealth Management seconded this position, stating that employees have expressed feeling worn out.

In that sense, what happens in the office market of Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey?

According to the real estate analysis platform Solili, these cities have the capacity to continue attracting global companies that need to establish their work centers in the country.

To become competitive and attractive, corporate markets offer various advantages such as lower prices and much more flexible contracts.

Mexico City has just over 2 million square meters of office vacancies in exclusive corridors of the capital such as Reforma, Polanco and Insurgentes.
