Mandated office hours and the impact on the modern work culture

Today's International Co-working Day serves as a timely reminder of the importance of flexibility and the value it has on the employee value proposition. In this episode of The HR Leader, host Emma Musgrave is joined by International Workplace Group's Damien Sheehan to discuss the pros and cons of mandating employees to return to the office. Damien discusses the generational divide on such policies and how HR leaders can address disgruntlement coming through the ranks. Damien also shares some telling research that pinpoints the true value of continuing a hybrid approach, including the impacts it's been shown to make on staff retention and attraction, as well as some of the lesser-discussed benefits related to the world's carbon footprint.
