A recommendation to bridge this expectation gap is for employers to highlight the advantages of being onsite and the direct impact on individual roles and organizational success. Position the “in-office” time as an exciting choice, rather than a challenge. In-office time increases the employee connection to business, personal and professional values, purpose, and goals. Face-to-face interactions build a culture of support for all team members across all levels of the organization, increasing problem solving, building interpersonal skills, driving motivation, improving communication, and leading to higher job satisfaction. Time in the office also presents opportunities for mentoring and coaching. Nothing promotes greater personal and professional growth than face-to-face time with a senior colleague who is dedicated to helping others achieve career goals. One-on-one coaching helps employees stand out from others, step up to new challenges, and discuss professional aspirations. It’s a great first step toward upward mobility. When it comes to in-office mandates, our most successful clients approach the issue with flexibility. They remain in tune with employee needs and find solutions that support employees while maintaining high levels of productivity and quality work.
