Advantage Sales surveyed grocery manufacturers and retailers about their post-COVID expectations for in-person and virtual meetings and returning to work at an office.
More than 70% of manufacturers and more than 80% of retailers expect to have fewer in-person meetings, even after the pandemic. Just one in 10 of both groups expect to have more in-person meetings.
About one-third of manufacturers and retailers say employees will return to working in offices “when everyone is vaccinated.”
