An interesting debate on the return-to-office mandate. - Some companies are offering overseas placements as a perk. - Incentives were more effective than punishment. - And: if forced to return to office 5 days a week - “high-performers, women and millennials, three groups that prize flexibility, are the biggest flight risks”. Many companies adapt to the work-from-home or return-to-office dilemma. The way we (and a lot of other companies) handle staff and offices: - Employees inform the HR who works in office, hybrid, or fully remote. - Fully remote people do not have permanent workplace assigned to them in the office. - However, anyone can reserve a workplace or a meeting room in advance if they need. Flexibility is something we cannot avoid these days. What can companies do differently in their offices because of hybrid work arrangements? https://lnkd.in/dFXSqyNt

Just recently a good friend of mine has asked her sister to read through an insurance agreement for their apartment. The sister summed it up and asked tricky questions with the help of ChatGPT. The friend of mine got offended and called her sister irresponsible. So who is right here? Would you delegate handling your finances to GenAI? ??

Donald Trump, in one of his first actions as President of the US, issued an order ending remote work for all federal employees. They are required to return to work in-person on a full-time basis. A move intended to reduce the federal workforce through attrition – the topline from Forbes states. https://lnkd.in/gznkkRHg “Requiring federal employees to come to the office 5 days a week would result in a wave of voluntary terminations that we welcome: If federal employees don’t want to show up, American taxpayers shouldn’t pay them for the Covid-era privilege of staying home,” Elon Musk, the appointed head of the Department of Government Efficiency, wrote with his former co-lead Vivek Ramaswamy in a November op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. Work-from-home is obviously treated as an advantage; not having one would force part of employees out of their current positions. Is the move justified? Does it resonate with a big group of in-office workers not able to enjoy remote work opportunities? Also, curious about the effect. Will people get back to the pre-Covid work settings or choose to quit? #remotework #WFH #remoteworkforcemanagement #US
