How do you proceed with solving the problem? Ask a dozen different people for advice and you may get a dozen different suggestions. From a new recruiting strategy to an additional slide to a new product feature, everyone will have something to add, but you know what no one is likely to suggest?

Biggest Risks in Return to Offices: Harvard Remote Work Guru

Like it or not, more employees are going back to work. With roughly 130 million Americans now having received at least one vaccine shot as of Sunday — about half of U.S. adults — the forced Covid-19 work-from-home experiment is coming nearer to an end. What results on the other side of it, though — a return to a traditional office-first model, hybrid employment, or permanent WFH — will depend on an employer's specific cost-benefit analysis of factors including company culture, and talent and productivity to be gained or lost. Already, major employers across sectors of the economy are choosing distinctly different paths forward. Among West Coast technology giants, Microsoft has been clear on a liberal WFH policy since October 2020. Google, meanwhile, is limiting employees to a maximum of 14 days WFH annually without manager approval. On Wall Street, Goldman Sachs' CEO called WFH an "aberration," and JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon expects "many" emplo...

Gone are the days when you might think that remote work is not a real thing. The pandemic has very much proved that it's possible to get your work done with equal efficiency even without stepping into your office every day. A survey conducted by PWC shows that remote working during the pandemic has been an overwhelming success for both employees and employers.  Another report published by BBC after surveying 4,700 knowledge workers found that the majority of these workers don't want to return to the old way of working. And 72% of these workers said that they wanted a hybrid remote-office model in the post-Covid-19 world. All of this is a clear indication that there'll be a massive shift in the way companies will operate and their employees will work in the post-pandemic era. So it's about time that you prepare yourself to start lookin...

Talk time: The Little Green Bird

Tonight is cool at this time. The clock shows at 9.30 pm. Read the book and then sip a cup of coffee.  Trying to stretch the eyes after reading but the stomach is filled with caffeine.

But there is still no time to post the article because of some of the inevitable factors. However, efforts are being made to ensure that everything is working smoothly.
