Why Are More Employees Returning to the Office? with Stephanie Downs

Culture Over Coffee

In this episode, we’re continuing our season-long, deep dive into ENGAGE 2024: The Company Culture Report by asking: “Why are more employees returning to the office?” As you can probably guess, it’s here that we’ll tackle the ever-shifting attitudes around “where we work.” Helping me explore these new findings on work preferences is Stephanie Downs, SVP/Senior Consultant at The Center for Sales Strategy. Stephanie makes so many amazing points, like: - How managers often point to a seeming lack of accountability as one of the main reasons for pulling their people back into the office. - Why it’s impossible to please everyone when it comes to the “right” work model, but, still, everyone’s perspectives should be considered. - And, finally, how there are a plethora of ways to make your virtual meetings as invigorating and energizing as those in-person.
