Your Employees Want a Clear Message About Post-COVID Work

Thanks to McKinsey for these interesting survey findings suggesting that employees want more communication about post-COVID policies, even though organizations don't yet know the details.

This reinforces the value of a clear commitment to well-designed and agile work design experiments, with fully-prepared workers and managers, as Pete Ramstad and I recently suggested in our LinkedIn Post:

What if your return-to-work policy was this:  “To all of our valued managers, employees and non-employee workers: We don’t know what the future of work will be. However, we DO know that all of you have learned to innovate continually, as you have crafted your work to meet the unprecedented opportunities and challenges of the pandemic. So, instead of one policy applied to everyone, our ‘policy’ will be to invite and equip you to design your work through agile innovation and experimentation.”
