HOW ARE WE MAKING THE STILL-CHANGING WORKPLACE WORK?

June 9, 2021

Is your office staying remote, going back to a full office setting or moving to a hybrid approach? Has your manager set collaboration days for your work team to report in person? What is the new way to work?

The DLE’s June Culture Chat explores the sizzling summer topic—How We Are Making the Still-Changing Workplace Work—on Friday, June 25 at noon ET. Join other professionals from diverse organizations and locations in a lively, moderated conversation about how and where to carve out your workspace in the evolving workplace.

The international research firm Gartner recently reported that only 5% of midsize companies are planning for employees to return to the physical workplace. The remaining 94% will have some mix of in-office, remote, and hybrid environments. How ready are you to shift again? Are you one of the people caught in the 5% of the Gartner poll? How will you manage going back to full office work?
