The Drawdown Newsletter - Team recharge

Following two years of continued disruption to routines and ways of working, private equity professionals are facing an ongoing feeling of fatigue. As such, our top story today explores what firms across the globe are doing to re-energise their employees.

“As we return to work, I’ve certainly noticed a change in energy,” says Sonia D’Emilio, partner, human capital at Astorg.

“While some people are super eager to be back in the office, others are less so because it requires changing your daily habits. Humans are creatures of habit. Going from pre-pandemic office life to fully remote working - that severely disrupted our routines. To create some level of hybrid working - it’s another disruption.”

While various firms have been trying different ideas to motivate their employees as the industry adapts to hybrid working models, D’Emilio reassuringly adds,

“No one knows the consequences of any model yet, because no one has lived through it and come out the other side. We’re all muddling through this at the same time.”

Thanks so much to Sonia (Astorg), Kristin (Hamilton Lane) and Jasi (3i) for sharing their thoughts and insights on this ongoing challenge.
