S9-Ep21: Remote Work and Mental Well-Being

Guest: Dr. Gleb Tsipursky Many CEOs and executives insisting on staff returning to the office full time are making decisions based on myths about hybrid work. The truth may surprise them – and you!   Dr. Gleb Tsipursky busts those myths with hard data and direct experience with 23+ organizations. The bottom line: for the majority of “office” workers, hybrid work benefits both wellbeing and productivity. With mental health concerns at an all time high world-wide, that’s a message more employers should be paying attention to. Here's what Gleb and host Maureen Metcalf cover: How hybrid work boosts not only boosts mental well-being and productivity, but employee retention and satisfaction, too; How to establish new norms for workdays that accommodate diverse lifestyles; and Why workers feel social isolation in the office, too – and targeted strategies to combat it!   Other episodes you'll enjoy: The Blindspots Between Us: How to Overcome Unconscious Cognitive Bias with Dr. Gleb Tsipursky Building a Culture of Brain Health, Growth & Effectiveness with Dr. JJ Walcutt Leading with Care & Purpose with Raj Sisodia & Sudhanshu Palsule   For daily wisdom from our guests, be sure to follow us on LinkedIn.
