Agreed, especially the last part. The reverse can be true though: I know workplace leaders who get held responsible for attendance, but senior leadership doesn't provide the budget to redesign space -- and people are (supposed to / forced to) come back to spaces that don't work at all, esp for folks doing calls most of the day.
Hey Brian! Venue over Office! I think that’s the only way to value the today’s needs of our associates.
However creating venues doesn’t stop shoveling employees back to office.
The hybrid approach is still alive:
You can work wherever you want. But 3/5 days you’re expected to be in the office.
The reason? Mismanagement of resources. PM who hang on the phone 7.5 of 8 hours a day don’t care about office layouts.
Low office attendance can’t be solved by brilliant facility management—just mitigated.
