It’s quite amusing how some companies claim they don’t micro-manage, yet their approach feels more like observing us under a microscope. Instead of focusing on our performance, they seem more concerned with every little detail – like how many breaths we took today!

Balance, choice and variety. As in so many other things in life the hybrid work answer isn’t a black or white solution. To keep and optimize your people make sure to balance mandates with choice and flexibility. Monolithic thinking will be a path to extinction.

Not this time, Adam. I can't agree with this one. So, should Mcdonald's tell their employees to work from home two days a week? Should American Airlines tell their pilots to work from home two days a week?
I get the desire to have a one-size-fits-all answer, but life is more nuanced than that. We experienced a period when everyone HAD to work from home all the time. There was no other option. Then, some employees decided they were entitled to work from home.
So, a few things to consider:
1. Not every job can be done remotely.
2. Not every task within a job can be done remotely.
3. It's harder to coordinate, build trust, and communicate effectively when working remotely.
4. Working remotely is not for everyone. Some people would feel lonely. Some people don't have the environment to work remotely. Some people would adopt unhealthy habits.
To keep your people, build #trust in the company. Build a culture that gets employees engaged. Really engaged. Make them want to work because of what they do, and not because of how or where they do it. Working remotely one, two, five days a week should depends on the job, the task, the environment, and the person. Not be part of what people are entitled to.

The strongest evidence of the benefits of hybrid work. Reinforces the results that we found in our PAQ paper on flex work and remote work in the federal workforce.

First of all, check out Nick Bloom’s study. Then, how about a study that 1) proves four hours working at home can be more productive than eight hours at the office 1a) my sweet spot is 6 to 10 AM 2) children are happier and less anxious with a parent around 2a) moms and dads hate missing their children’s activities 3) remote work is the very best way for parents, especially single parents, to function effectively in both their careers and families. PS — for me, hybrid means Wednesday at the office. Period.
Second — I call BS on the Wells Fargo firings of clever WFH cheaters. Sounds like management was trying to reach out and micromage when and how people had to work, which defeats the most important benefit of WFH — being in charge of your daily time management. Some cheaters (there were — GASP — 12!) had devices that made them seem like they were typing at their computers when they weren’t. I almost hate to say it, but FU management. Sorry. Nah. Not sorry.
