As the 2023 year enters the final stretch, the work-life balance conversation is tracking to become the major talking point of 2024, specifically as it relates to the push for Return-to-Office. This could be a significant factor in the culture of work as a whole, especially in the accounting profession which is showing the lowest numbers entering the industry in recent history. Addressing the pipeline issue is also elevating to crisis mode, especially as demands are increasing in the realm of AI and cybersecurity disclosures.
