After working almost a year remotely, I can easily say that there is no need to get back to the office. I always hated traveling to and from the office. Traveling time is saved. Now companies have to give strong reasons to go back to the office. They can’t say the spaces are missing humans so you guys have to come back. Employees have the power to reject it for their health.
Yes, a people-to-people connection is necessary but that is getting done every day via
Zoom or Google Meet. If there is any need for collaboration and congregation,
then people can gather at the office but you certainly don’t need to meet
daily. In short, there is no need for daily meetings.
Nike’s director
Brittney Van Matre has suggested that companies should consider setting up
outposts in unconventional locales. It may sound great but very few companies
will do that. Most companies will stay away from it because of the loss they’ve
suffered during the lockdown.
On the contrary, they should think of cutting the costs related to spaces.
