The Present

The mandatory working from home ‘experiment’ Almost fully remote - high level of anxieties A tiny percentage of people want to return to a fixed dedicated office Working longer hours, not necessarily working harder or smarter Finding out what works and what is missed Not being able to take a few minutes break Video call fatigue Wait and see approach about going back into the office (following Slack, Apple, Facebook, Google and the QSR for their approach to safety) No size fits any (key will be flexibility and not too many top down hard rules) Joining a company means meeting teams remotely, working with your manager remotely, meeting their pets and young members of the family alongside seeing inside a colleagues home without knowing them well. Learning is self-serve Pulse Survey ad-hoc Off-sites - Not really happening or happening in limited numbers in person, some remote Mixed documentation and sharing information. Many homes for important content and too many layers of communication
