Employers push for staff to return to the office after working from home as commercial property values plunge
Some bosses are tying bonuses to getting people back into the office. But with "work from home" the most searched-for term on job websites, the push-and-pull is a source of contention.
You're viewing a single thread.
"But corporates who are seeing maybe an average of one to two days a week in the office, they are really wanting to drive higher occupancy rates, because they see the benefits of collaboration, innovation. That kind of comes from people face-to-face in the office".
The other element — mentioned by everyone from CEOs and executives to human resources leaders and academics — is about the mentorship and training of younger staff.
"That," Mr Broderick notes, "is really hard to replicate from home”
Is anyone actually swallowing this tripe?
The more it’s jammed down my throat the sweeter that succulent nectar of conditioning gets!
Mmm mmmm!!
Bet he works from home though.
Yeah I read a story on Reddit from one employee of a giant company that had a "all hands on deck" mandatory meeting about working from the office....and the mega CEO was in a videocall instead of being in person for this meeting
Yeah upper management at our work is. That's pretty much verbatim what they said during a recent meeting to "encourage" staff to come in 3 days a week.
I don't think they're wrong that it's easier to train people in-person, it's just not worth the cost of going back into the office
As a junior member at my work, this is actually a legitimate reason. Being in person is a way better environment to learn in. And work in to some degree (for me).
Still, I don't think it's worth going back to the office as a mandatory thing. It's too inflexible for people with families, or if you don't live that close to the city.
