CEO of the world’s largest workspace provider says commuting will be extinct by 2040—and your kids will think it’s ‘mad stuff’ professionals once did

According to Mark Dixon, CEO of IWG, commuting could be extinct within the next 15 years because the workplace of the future is everywhere and most white-collar work is online and in the cloud. Research from IWG and global engineering consultancy Arup suggests that long daily commutes could be extinct by 2040. Furthermore, data shows that younger CEOs are more likely to allow staff to work remotely than their older counterparts.
