Are You Going Back into the Office?

 

I'm curious about how people feel about the potential end of WFH, or at least the start of some kind of hybrid.

I've spoken to employers and business owners, and the feeling I get from them is that they want their workers back at the office. There is a perception that people are not productive working remotely. 

So, I have more questions than answers!

Employers: What do you think? Have you measured your assumptions with data? Have you managed to keep your workforce engaged while they work remotely? What have you implemented to achieve this? Has it been effective and successful?

Employees:  What is your view? Do you find that you're more productive at home? Do you need the social face-to-face of the office? Do you feel engaged with your team while WFH?

Employers: How do you want your employees to feel at work? What do you think helps them feel more part of a team?

Employees: How do you want to feel at work? Do you feel that way now? What would make you feel more engaged with your team? 


Looking to improve your team's productivity and engagement?

Looking to find your way in this "new normal"?

I'd love to meet with you to see how I can help

The 4 R's of How We Get Stuck

  Change is inevitable yet we tend to resist change for many reasons. This is why so many of us start something, then backtrack to our old habits. Risk, Return, Resistance, Routine The 4 R's represent the pattern we often fall into when making change in our lives.  Have you tried losing weight, only to gain it back? If so, you're not alone.  When faced with change, we will evaluate the risk.  Risk includes what we have to lose and what we need to lose!  All decisions have an element of risk. If we do not change something, it may present a risk. And if we do make the change, we have perceived risk. Using the weight loss example, if we are carrying too much weight, we risk health problems. If we use a diet (a tool for losing weight), we risk not following through because we may have to give up too much, or we don't like the tool (we may not like being told what to do, for example, and the loss of autonomy). Return is what we expect to gain from the change.  I...
