I believe the flexibility to have employees work “remotely” or a mix of at work and at home is here to stay and companies that want to have a strong workforce need to adapt to this new reality. Over the past 2+ years of COVID employees and companies have learnt how to adapt to the new reality. If you start to see your employees leaving, maybe it is time to readjust your workplace policies! Great article Marna.
I’m seeing this now in our organization. Management seems to be slow to respond but they are only hurting themselves and the employees who remain. We’ve lost a couple now to remote work. I hope this is implemented at our office soon.
YES! Great article @Marna. I am one of those who would prefer never to go into a office ever again. I work best in my own environment.
With gas prices going up and up, the thought of driving to an office would add a HUGE expense also. Not having to get “fully” ready every day is a total bonus too!
As you’ve mentioned, in order to attract top talent, and retain current resources, providing a remote working environment (or hybrid) is something employers are going to need to consider. I’m seeing this trend when I’m recruiting lately…employees are looking for the work from home option…your article is so timely Marna.
We’ve all had to come back to the office. Possibly could have retained two employees if we had a work from home option. I would love the opportunity to work from home on some days and go in on others. Now with the soaring gas prices, I really would love this option.
I do think that having an option to work from home or have flexibility between office and work from home hours is a huge benefit and I would consider it a selling feature for a company. I know I won’t go back to full time office hours unless I have to.
The organization that I work for is very flexible with work arrangements although they would like us to spend at least a couple days per week in the office. Employees seem to be happy with this arrangement and the work is getting done.
I usually work in the office because I like being around people; although some Fridays I am almost alone in the office anyway. I find I can work better in the office; accessing our network is so much faster in the office and my workstation at work is a luxury. I have no issues connecting with my colleagues who prefer to work from home.
I believe having the option or as Denise mentioned above, the flexibility to work in the office or from home would be a huge benefit. Organizations who offer either of these options, are showing their trust in their employees as the work seems to be getting done.
