Summary

Today, you can’t open LinkedIn without being polled on the topic of working from home. Up there with LOL, WFH has become one of the most recognisable acronyms and sayings over the last two years with COVID-19 fundamentally changing our relationship with the office and with very few of us wanting to return to the pre pandemic status quo. It’s an experience we thought was temporary, only intended to last the length of our lockdowns. However, as the months went on many have realised that they prefer this approach and want to continue regardless of being able to go back into the office setting. Some would like a hybrid approach, getting to choose when they do either. Others never want to work from home again, relying on the face-to-face and immediate interaction from their peers, or simply missing the social aspect of working in a team. Whatever your preference, the lockdown experience has made it clear that when it comes to work, there’s no one size fits all model. Our guests for this episode include Sophie Pank from Deputy, Simon Kuestenmacher from The Demographics Group, and Melbourne Lord Mayor Sally Capp. Hosted on Acast.
