In reply to Megan.

@Megan – I’m not sure that’s a particularly helpful way for a company to think about it. The question is more what sort of work is best done in person and what is best done remotely. Most people have now found that 5 days a week in person is overkill, but there are certainly things that are easier to do face-to-face. So if an organization can think about presence purposefully, they’ll find that people will come in some days. Just not as many as before.

Hi Laura, what are ur thoughts on companies wanting employees back in office, just because they think that will bring economy back. “Fill our great downtowns”.

This was a great episode! A lot of what was mentioned is also relevant to volunteer organizations as well- I am on the council of a religious organization and much appreciated some of the suggestions for strategies. Jerks and free-riders are everywhere, including houses of worship.
