To Remote Work Or Not? Deciding Whether to Return to Five Days in the Office

Has your organization returned to five days in the office?

If so, how was the reasoning behind it communicated to you?

Or maybe you made the decision for your team.

I have been hearing more and more of organizations going back to the five days in the office work week.

There is nothing wrong with that, but it seems that also the majority of people I've talked to don't fully understand what the rationale behind this decision is.

And when we don't understand the reasoning - we tend to create our own in the form of gossip.

In this episode I explore the idea of five days in the office versus a hybrid office-remote approach, and the reasons I could see to justify each one.

Unfortunately I believe many of these decisions are being made more out of fear and scarcity than trust and motivation for staff.

What do you think?

You can let me know here and I will share it on a future episode.
