Podcasts about return to office

Susie Jones joins us for two segments of fun with Overrated, Underrated or Properly Rated before discussion about a survey showing a surprisingly high number of workers experiencing significant anxiety over being pulled back into the office from a remote work situation.

In this episode of All Hands on Tech, we sit down with Sarah Padovani, Web Team Lead at REDspace, to talk about the realities of modern tech work and what makes teams truly effective. From remote work and return-to-office conversations to process, complexity and collaboration, Sarah shares her experience leading technical teams through constant change in a fast-moving industry.The conversation explores what teams lose—and gain—in fully-remote environments, why some workplaces may be overcomplicating how work gets done and where organizations often struggle when trying to improve team performance. Whether you're leading a team, starting your career in tech or simply navigating the evolving future of work, this episode offers a thoughtful and grounded perspective on where the industry is headed.Produced by Unbound Media

Send us Fan MailIn this second bonus episode of That Workplace Experience Podcast, host Dan Moscrop is joined by psychologist, author and workplace learning expert Nick Shackleton-Jones for a wide-ranging conversation about work, learning, identity and the future of the workplace.Known for his hugely popular commentary on return-to-office culture and corporate life, Nick brings humour, honesty and a healthy dose of scepticism to the realities of modern work. Drawing on experiences spanning Siemens, the BBC, BP, Deloitte and beyond, he explores how workplaces shape behaviour, identity and learning — often in ways organisations fail to recognise.Together, Dan and Nick discuss why challenge — not information — is what truly drives learning, the unintended consequences of remote work on social development, and why so many offices unintentionally communicate control, uniformity and hierarchy before anyone even sits down at their desk. They also unpack neurodiversity in corporate environments, the emotional mechanics behind human learning, and why small acts of recognition matter far more than expensive reward schemes.The conversation also dives into the future of AI and work, exploring everything from cognitive outsourcing and workplace surveillance to what happens when technology becomes better than humans at the very things we once considered uniquely ours.Part workplace critique, part philosophical exploration, this special bonus episode offers a provocative and thought-provoking look at how organisations can create more human, engaging and meaningful experiences at work.Download the Workbook to find out more about Nick Shackleton-Jones.Video production and camera: Calum LindsayCamera: Miguel Santa ClaraIllustration: Phoebe Gitsham

Return-to-office conversations are often framed around productivity, collaboration and company culture.But what if they are also revealing something about belonging, leadership and whose lives workplaces were originally designed around?In this solo episode, I reflect on the emotional and practical realities many working parents are navigating behind the surface of business as usual.For many professionals, especially parents of young children, the return-to-office conversation is really not about commuting or flexibility. It is about:* How much someone can realistically hold and carry* Identity* Visibility* Ability to sustain* The pressure to continue performing as though life has not fundamentally changed.In this episode, I explore:* Why return-to-office debates feel emotionally charged for many parents* The invisible mental load behind showing up* How workplaces still holding old beliefs* The leadership skills caregiving often develops* Why reduced capacity is not the same as reduced ambition* The connection between belonging and psychological safety at work* What sustainable success might look like across different chapters of life⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you've enjoyed this episode, please leave a rating and review!This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered:Can I still grow professionally without working exactly as I used to?And perhaps more importantly:What kind of workplaces will people remain loyal to in the future?

We Work Remotely's 2026 report outlines a stable but divided landscape between employer office mandates and worker demand for flexibility. With 55% of Fortune 100 firms requiring full-time office attendance, many policies are reshaping hiring and retention. Meanwhile, remote roles attract 60% of applications despite representing only 20% of postings. Hybrid work dominates but still results in most work happening outside offices. Productivity gains, lower burnout, and willingness to trade salary for flexibility continue to define worker preferences, giving distributed companies a measurable advantage in attracting and retaining experienced global talent. https://www.linkedin.com/in/remoteworklife/SOURCES  https://weworkremotely.com/wwr-state-of-remote-work-2026-trends-insights https://weworkremotely.com/blog https://www.linkedin.com/posts/we-work-remotely_remotework-futureofwork-worktrends-activity-7446997093715472385-RTSy https://www.facebook.com/weworkremotely/videos/964777759279823Looking for Remote Work?Click here remoteworklife.io to access a private beta list of remote jobs in sales, marketing, and strategy — plus get podcasts, real-world tips and business insights from founders, CEOs, and remote leaders. subscribe to my free newsletter Connect on LinkedIn

Return-to-office policies continue to spark debate across organizations, but the real drivers behind these decisions are often more complex than leaders admit. In this episode of What the Heck is Happening in HR?, Kelley examines why many return-to-office conversations aren't actually about collaboration or culture—they're about uncertainty, visibility, and control. She explores how remote work challenged traditional assumptions about productivity and why poorly explained mandates can damage trust. This episode offers a candid look at how leaders and HR can approach workplace flexibility with greater clarity, transparency, and intention.#FutureOfWork#ReturnToOffice#HybridWork#Leadership#HRInsights#WorkplaceStrategy#WorkplaceCulture#PeopleLeadership#EmployeeExperience#OrganizationalLeadership#Management

In this special roundtable episode of Success Leaves Clues, Robin and Al bring together three experienced leaders for a candid, practitioner-level conversation on one of the most emotionally charged leadership topics today: return to work vs remote work. Featuring: Amanda Small, Head of People & Culture; Cerys Goodall, Operations Leader; and Elizabeth Lynch, HR Consultant and Culture Advisor, this discussion moves beyond headlines and into real-world leadership tension. Is return to office about location? Or is it about trust, accountability, and clarity of outcomes? If you are a CEO, founder, HR leader, executive, or manager navigating return to office mandates, hybrid models, or remote work performance, this episode offers grounded insight from leaders living this reality every day. The panel explores: Why “bums in seats” does not equal performance The difference between visibility and accountability How unclear outcomes create disengagement Why intentional workplace design matters more than policy Generational shifts in how trust is built The role of flexibility in retention and employee wellbeing Why leaders must be considerate without catering How culture either lives in daily behavior or dies in policy You'll hear about: Is return to work a trust issue or a management capability issue? Why accountability must be tied to outcomes, not visibility The difference between listening to employees and catering to them “Considerate without catering” as a leadership philosophy Why the office should function as a teammate, not just a location How poor policy design creates disengagement Coffee badging and what it signals about culture The loneliness epidemic and the hidden cost of remote work Why clarity of outcomes drives performance more than presence How intentional design improves culture and business results We talk about: 00:00 Introduction to the Return to Work Roundtable 01:00 Panelist introductions and leadership lenses 04:30 Is return to work about trust or accountability? 07:00 Visibility vs measurable outcomes 10:00 Real estate pressure and office utilization 14:00 How much flexibility should employees realistically have? 17:00 Listening vs catering to employees 21:00 “Considerate without catering” leadership 26:00 When employees should choose to leave 30:00 Operational rigor and remote performance success 37:00 Why clarity of outcomes drives engagement 44:00 Does autonomy improve performance? 52:00 What actually drives performance?

Ep 57 - Potluck Politics- Why Showing Up Matters Even If You Hate RTOWelcome back to the Career Coaching Xs and Os podcast—the show where we uncover the strategies, challenges, and breakthroughs that shape meaningful career success. In this episode, we dive into the frustration surrounding the Return-To-Office policy and whether employees should participate in holiday potluck events. Let's be real—most of us don't wake up excited about the office potluck. Especially if you're already frustrated with the whole return‑to‑office push. But here's the truth: skipping that Thanksgiving potluck could cost you more than you think. Career growth isn't just about the work you do at your desk—it's about the relationships you build when no one's talking about deadlines or deliverables. That potluck? It's a low‑stakes arena where visibility, goodwill, and connection are on the table—literally. So before you roll your eyes and stay home, let's talk about why showing up, even for a plate of turkey and stuffing, might be the smartest career move you make this season.******************Want To Co-host An Episode of Career Coaching Xs and Os?

There's a moment every HR professional remembers — that first email, that first conversation, that first tremor in the air when “return to office” stopped being a policy discussion and started being personal. Three years ago, the message was simple: Stay home, stay safe. Now it's: Come back. And in between, everything about how we work — and what we value — has changed.In this episode of Human Solutions, Pete Wright sits down with AIM HR Solutions' Tom Jones and Annette Dupree to explore the strange, often uneasy middle ground between flexibility and structure, empathy and compliance. It's a story about the quiet negotiations happening in every workplace — between leaders trying to rebuild culture and employees trying to preserve the balance they finally found.Annette starts with something deceptively simple: mindset. What if return-to-office isn't about control, but reconnection? What if the message isn't we need you here, but we miss you here? From that shift, a thousand possibilities open up — from reimagining flexibility to reframing belonging.Tom, meanwhile, brings the legal lens: what happens when compassion meets compliance? When a doctor's note becomes a line in the sand? He explains the fine print of the interactive dialogue — that delicate conversation between employee, manager, and HR that determines what's possible and what isn't. It's the kind of process that sounds bureaucratic but, done right, can restore trust instead of eroding it.And then there's the harder truth: sometimes, it isn't about coming back. It's about who comes back. Reductions in force test the soul of an organization. Tom and Annette walk through how to make those decisions — how to document criteria, avoid bias, and resist the all-too-human temptation to let frustration drive strategy.
