There was a significant cultural shift in work-life balance resulting from the Covid-19 related office-to-home transition.

While it felt that some power had been restored to an often imbalanced employer-employee relationship during this time, many also felt the presence of work had amplified in their lives.

The question arose for many workers: am I reaching my full potential in my current role?
