As we witness an increasing number of organizations considering the option of bringing their employees back to physical workspaces, the question arises - are offices merely a thing of the past or are they crucial for the future of work?
On one hand, proponents of returning to offices highlight the benefits stemming from personal interaction, team spirit, and spontaneous collaboration, which are often harder to achieve in a virtual environment. They believe that offices are hubs of innovation, essential for developing work culture and fostering strong interpersonal relationships.
On the other hand, there is a growing voice advocating for continued remote work or a hybrid work model. They point out time and cost savings from commuting, greater flexibility in working hours, and improved work-life balance as key advantages offered by remote work.
Through this panel discussion, we will endeavor to explore the arguments and provide insights into the complexity of this issue to better understand how to shape the future of work.
