Returning to the office: mandate or mistake?

Can returning to the office genuinely transform the workplace, or is it simply an attempt to revive pre-pandemic traditions?

Join Andrew Whiteaker and Helen Goss as they explore the shift from remote work to hybrid and office first arrangements, weighing the freedom of flexible schedules against the compelling push for in person presence to nurture company culture and ignite productivity.  They discuss the challenges businesses face in balancing employee preferences with organisational needs, and the necessity of making the office environment more attractive to foster collaboration and engagement. 

Later in the episode, the conversation delves into how American corporate policies surrounding diversity, equality and inclusion might seep into UK workplaces as cultural attitudes shift.
