[Formcraft](https://www.linkedin.com/company/formcraft/) is an architectural design firm based out of Philadelphia, PA. who comprised a list of "inspiring office renovation ideas" your office should incorporate into employee workspaces to create a comparable environment to their home offices and workstations. [See article here](https://formcraft.net/5-inspiring-office-renovation-ideas-for-2021/)  The traditional office employer has lowered expectations in an attempt to compromise by offering employees flexibility with 3-day-work weeks and some are even granting workers 2-day-callbacks. The resounding response to RTO mandates have communicated loud and clear that employees value work-life balance.
