Are you navigating the complex RTO landscape and seeking to optimise your workplace for happier and more productive employees?
In today's solo episode of the Happier at Work podcast, I delve into the ongoing RTO (Return to Office) debate, exploring what it means for leaders and their teams. I provide valuable insights into weighing the pros and cons of returning to the office vs. embracing remote or hybrid models. With my experience in professional services, I encourage leaders to tailor your approaches based on unique organisational cultures and employee preferences, rather than imitating others. Highlighting significant aspects like autonomy, workplace culture, and talent attraction, this episode offers a strategic roadmap for leaders dedicated to fostering a positive and inclusive work environment.
