Are you among the growing number of CEOs and C-Suite executives who have decided it’s time for employees to return to the office 5-days a week? If so, you may be experiencing a wide range of reactions. While some people may be fine with returning to the office, others with hybrid work arrangements may be resisting this change. Find out what can you do to move beyond any standoffs and increase engagement and productivity for everyone.
In this “Quick Take” episode, we discuss how first considering the legitimate perspectives of both leadership and employees before announcing decisions about returning to the office can lead to more winning outcomes. Understanding not only what people think, but what’s behind their perspectives, can lead to co-creating an improved workplace that creates a thriving, productive community.
We also share immediately useful ideas from our previous conversation with Melissa St. John, CEO of Relocation Strategies. We discuss collaborating with employees to create a more engaging and productive workplace. A link to the full episode discussing hybrid work arrangements from 2023 is below under “Resources.”
