Presence Isn’t Productivity

In this episode, Edan Haddock dives into one of the most heated debates in modern work: return-to-office, hybrid, and working from home.Rather than taking sides in the location debate, Edan argues that the entire conversation is missing the real issue.The problem isn’t where people work.It’s how we measure work.Edan explores why he has always believed in Work/Life Integration rather than Work/Life Balance, why rigid return-to-office mandates risk pushing organisations backwards, and why measuring productivity through time at a desk is one of the most outdated ideas in modern leadership.He also looks at emerging discussions around potential legislation in Victoria supporting two days of working from home, and what this could mean for organisations that have enforced strict office mandates.The future of work, Edan argues, isn’t about location.It’s about outcomes, trust, and designing work in ways that fit real life. 🎙️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes.
