“Shark Tank” investor Robert Herjavec told CNBC on Thursday that people should not underestimate the long-term effects of the coronavirus pandemic on remote working. “We have been forced to change, whether we like it or not. Yeah, people will go back to offices, but work from home, remote offices, are the future,” he said on “Squawk Alley.” “We are living the future right now.” Herjavec, CEO and founder of Herjavec Group, which provides cybersecurity products and services to business, said he believes that commercial rents will be impacted as a result. He said his company rents 52,000 square feet in one location and the lease is coming up for renewal in about a year. “There is no way I’m renewing at 52,000 square feet. My offices will be smaller, and I think most people are going to reduce their footprint from an office perspective,” he said. Some larger companies across the U.S. have signaled they intend to expand their remote working policies, even after government stay-at-home orders put in place due to the Covid-19 outbreak are relaxed. In addition to learning that some positions can be done effectively from home, the move could also provide valuable cost savings after the economic consequences from the pandemic.
