October 13, 2024 Sunday Pick: Unsolicited Advice: Why is Amazon dragging its employees back into the office?
Each Sunday, TED shares an episode of another podcast we think you'll love, handpicked for you… by us. The evidence is clear that hybrid work is good for both people and organizations. So why are companies as big as Amazon now asking employees to come into the office all five days of the work week? In this special "Unsolicited Advice" episode of Fixable, another podcast from the TED Audio Collective, Fixable hosts Anne Morriss and Frances Frei debate what Amazon’s new return-to-office mandate means for the company’s future.
Frances is a Harvard Business professor. Anne is a CEO and best-selling author. Anne and Frances are two of the top leadership coaches in the world. Oh, did we mention they're also married to each other? Together, Anne and Frances move fast and fix stuff by talking to guest callers about their workplace issues and solving their problems – in 30 minutes or less.
Both listeners and guests will receive actionable insights to create meaningful change in the workplace – regardless of their position on the company ladder.
If you want to be on Fixable, call our hotline at 234-Fixable (that's 234-349-2253) to leave Anne and Frances a voicemail with your workplace problem.
