Episode 158: Office Peacocking and What it Means for You

In this episode, Dr. Janel Anderson digs into the trend of "office peacocking," where companies go to great lengths to entice employees back to the physical office through extravagant amenities and perks. She discusses the potential pitfalls of inequity and distractibility that come with such flashy office perks and emphasizes the importance of prioritizing flexibility, inclusivity, and purpose-driven work. Dr. Anderson advocates for a balanced approach, where companies invest in well-being, development, and technology tailored to employee needs and the organization's mission. And it doesn’t hurt if there’s fancy coffee, but that’s not what it’s all about. Ultimately, she highlights the need to foster a culture of respect, support, and empowerment in the evolving landscape of modern work culture.
