About This Episode  In this thought-provoking episode of The Future of Work® Podcast, Andrew Farah—CEO and co-founder of Density—unpacks what organizations get wrong about hybrid work strategy. With experience analyzing workspace data for over 1.25 billion square feet worldwide, Andrew offers a candid perspective on workplace design, policy ambiguity, and the cultural and operational tradeoffs of hybrid models.  He dives deep into the concept of “freedom within constraints,” the connection between trust and team performance, and why many return-to-office policies miss the mark. With examples from companies like Uber and Shopify, and insight into Density's cutting-edge sensor technology, this conversation challenges leaders to think critically about space, culture, and clarity in a post-pandemic workforce.  

In this episode of Hiring to Firing, hosts Tracey Diamond and Emily Schifter explore the concept of "coffee badging"—a post-pandemic workplace phenomenon where employees badge in, grab a cup of coffee, and then work remotely for the rest of the day. Joined by Donna Griffin from Intelligentsia Coffee, the discussion delves into the implications of return-to-office mandates, generational differences in work preferences, and the evolving dynamics of remote and hybrid work environments. Discover how coffee, culture, and corporate policies intersect in today's workplace.

Welcome back to another Future-Focused Weekly Update where hopefully I'm helping you stay 10 steps ahead of the chaos at the intersection of business, tech, and the human experience. This week's update is loaded as usual and includes everything from disturbing new research about AI's inner workings to a college affordability crisis that's hitting even six-figure families, a stalled job market that has job seekers stuck for months, and Google doubling down on a questionable return-to-office push. With that, let's get into it.⸻AI Deception Confirmed by New Anthropic Research:Recent research from Anthropic reveals that AI's chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning, the explanation behind its decisions, is inaccurate more than 80% of the time. That's right, 80%. However, it doesn't stop there. It finds 99% of shortcuts or hacks to achieve its goal. However, it only tells you when it did less than 2% of the time. I break down what this means for explainable AI, human-in-the-loop models, and why some of the most common AI training methods are actually making things worse.⸻College Now Unaffordable — Even for $300K FamiliesA viral survey is making waves with some pretty jaw-dropping claim. Apparently even families earning $300,000 a year can't afford top colleges. Now, that's bad, and there's no denying college costs are soaring, but there's more to it than meets the eye. I unpack what's really going on behind the headline, why financial aid rules haven't kept up, and how this affects not just elite schools but the entire higher education landscape. I also share some personal stories and practical alternatives.⸻Job Market Slows: 6+ Month Average Search TimeOut of work and struggling to find anything? You're not alone, and you're not crazy. New LinkedIn data shows over 50% of job seekers are taking more than six months to land a new role. I dig into why it's happening, what industries are still hiring, and how to reposition your skills to stay employable. Whether you're searching or simply staying prepared in case you find yourself in a search, my goal is to help you think differently about the environment and opportunity that exists.⸻Google Pushes RTO — 60 Hours in Office?I honestly can't believe this is still a thing, especially from a tech company. However, Google made headlines again with a recent and aggressive return-to-office policy, claiming “optimal performance” requires 60 in-office hours per week. I break down the questionable logic behind the claim, the anxiety driving these decisions, and what it means for the future of hybrid work. While there's lots of noise about “the truth” behind it, this isn't just about real estate or productivity, it's about misdirected executive anxiety.⸻If this resonated with you or gave you something to think about, drop a comment, share with a friend, and be sure to subscribe so you don't miss what's next.Show Notes:In this weekly update, host Christopher Lind navigates the intersection of business, tech, and human experience. Key topics include the emerging trend of companies adopting AI-first strategies, a detailed analysis of Anthropic's recent AI research, and its implications for explainable AI. Christopher also discusses the rising costs of higher education and offers practical advice for navigating college affordability amidst financial aid constraints. Furthermore, he provides a snapshot of the current job market, highlighting industries with better hiring prospects and strategies for job seekers. Lastly, the episode addresses Google's recent push for in-office work and the underlying motivations behind such corporate decisions.00:00 - Introduction 01:10 - AI Trends in Business: Shopify and Duolingo03:31 - Anthropic Research On AI Deception23:29 - College Affordability Crisis34:48 - LinkedIn Job Market Data43:47 - Google RTO Debate49:36 - Concluding Thoughts and Advice#FutureOfWork #AIethics #HigherEdCrisis #JobSearchTips #LeadershipInsights

"Our brains are being fracked by endless screen time!" Attention spans have plummeted by 30% in two decades, yet companies are doubling down on mandatory office work. Europe's return-to-office strategy is flexible and measured, while the U.S. is all mandates and mayhem—Amazon didn't even count its desks before calling employees back! The video version of this podcast can be found here.This week on AVWeek, host Tim Albright and Bren Walker explore the battle between corporate control and worker autonomy.

In this riotous episode of The Chad & Cheese Podcast, the boys drag Dr. Jessica Kriegel, Culture Partners' Chief Strategy Officer, into the clown car of post-COVID work woes. They tackle the return-to-office (RTO) brouhaha like it's a bad slapstick routine—is it a heroic charge back to the water cooler, or are we all just pratfalling into 2019 with pants that don't fit anymore? Dr. Kriegel's swinging the “adapt or flop” hammer, dubbing RTO a dusty VHS tape in a streaming world. The gang cackles over how Gen Z's “work-from-bed” energy is giving Boomer bosses heartburn, while leading via Zoom feels like herding cats on a dial-up connection. RTO's sneaky sucker punch to diversity and inclusion gets a guffaw too—turns out mandating face time might mean fewer faces that don't look like the CEO's golf buddies. Dr. Kriegel lays it on thick: COVID flipped the script on everyone, and companies still doing the pre-pandemic tango are basically dancing with a mop. She paints a hilarious picture of the C-suite vs. HR showdown—CEOs chasing shareholder high-fives like it's a pie-eating contest, while HR's stuck mopping up a mental health meltdown with a paper towel and a prayer. Tech's the unsung hero keeping remote work from being a total farce, but those corporate silos? They're like cubicle Berlin Walls—good luck getting a memo over ‘em. And don't get her started on the “me first” corporate vibe—it's less “teamwork makes the dream work” and more “every suit for himself.” The talent market's a dumpster fire, unions are either flexing or fumbling like a bad stand-up act, and upskilling's your only shot at not being the punchline when the layoffs hit. Takeaways? Trust your slackers have a pulse, morph your culture before it fossilizes, and don't bank on CEOs sticking around—turnover's so high they're practically on a conveyor belt to the exits.

Some federal employees expected the Trump administration's return to Office mandate to be a mess, and now for many, that's turned out to be the case. At some agencies, for example, there aren't enough desks with many feds instead left to work in packed conference rooms. Others are struggling to connect to the internet, and some are even running out of toilet paper. Here to share the results of our latest return to Office survey, Federal News Network's Drew Friedman.

The return-to-office (RTO) debate is no longer just about where people work—it's about why companies are making this shift. With office attendance jumping from 35% in 2023 to 68% in 2024, businesses claim that in-office work fuels collaboration, innovation, and culture. But is that the driving force behind these mandates? Or is this shift rooted in financial pressures, leadership challenges, and outdated ways of thinking? In this episode, Dr. Bray breaks down both sides of the argument, from the employee's demand for autonomy and flexibility to the employer's need to sustain business outcomes and justify office investments. Research shows that employees with a say in their work arrangements are 55% more productive and 40% more likely to stay with their company—yet, forced RTO mandates lead to higher disengagement and turnover. Meanwhile, executives worry that remote work is eroding mentorship, culture, and long-term career development. So, who's right? And is there a middle ground? Dr. Bray also explores the generational divide shaping the future of work. Baby Boomers report 80% satisfaction with RTO, while Gen Z is the most resistant at just 68% satisfaction—but why? Are younger employees missing out on crucial networking opportunities, or are they simply redefining what productivity looks like in a digital-first world? And what should companies be doing to ensure they attract and retain top talent across all generations? The real question isn't whether RTO is good or bad—it's about how companies structure work to drive real results. Tune in as we unpack the neuroscience, leadership strategies, and future trends shaping this conversation, and learn how businesses can strike the right balance between flexibility, trust, and collaboration. QUOTES BY DR. BRAY “It's not about where you work, it's HOW you work.” "Autonomy is one of the three psychological pillars of motivation. We love choices." "Location alone doesn't determine your success. What matters most is how intentional companies are about making work collaborative, innovative, and meaningful."

As International Women's Day 2025 approaches, the theme, ‘Accelerate Action for Gender Equality', resonates deeply with me. Having spent over a decade working predominantly with female founders, I've seen (and experienced) firsthand the challenges women face in achieving career and entrepreneurial success, particularly while balancing family responsibilities but also an enjoyable life outside of work. I firmly believe that one of the greatest barriers to gender equality is financial disparity. I don't think Women will ever achieve true gender equality until they reach financial parity with men. But achieving financial parity is going to require more than just paying women more— it demands a complete rethinking of how the workforce supports women to maintain and advance their careers. In this episode, I want to share with you what we've done successfully here in our organisation to build a thriving business staffed by a team of women working remotely and flexibly. We're not all mothers, but we do all appreciate the flexibility of the way we work and how we work to live rather than live to work.  If you want a bit more of that for yourself, you might find some tips and inspiration in today's episode.   Episode's Show Notes: https://www.catherinelangman.com/episode-265   Links mentioned in this episode: If you'd like help to achieve your goals in 2024 I invite you to have a chat to find out how we can make that happen together.   Work With Me: www.catherinelangman.com/work-with-me   Other Ways To Enjoy This Episode: Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/scale-my-ecommerce-store/id1496911739 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3NLRaZh2ReX0Iy7met8HK6 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@scalemyecomstore

We use our lunch hour to have conversations about what is going on in the world and more specifically the CrossFit space.  Today we talk about the 25.1 announcement. Today is the day to find out if I work from home going forward or return to the office and what are the plans for the weekend.

Productivity, Productivity, Productivity - the word is being thrown around by the broligarchs who are pushing the hustle-grind with unreasonable deadlines, back to back meetings and a way to put human needs at the backburner.    I talk about how brobsession with efficiency over effectiveness leads to toxic productivity, undermining our well-being and ignoring their duty of care towards their teams. But efficiency has never been as powerful as effectiveness, and then these latest diktats … and you'll find me having a laugh but the matter is serious nonetheless.   I highlight why toxic productivity compromises our wellbeing and forcing us to participate in a work culture that's helping no one. Then there are 'influencers generously sharing their way' but what's the real cost of falling for that?   We need to redefine success to include genuine contributions and impact over mere activity, and create inclusive workplaces where everyone thrives.   *** Key Points ***   Balancing efficiency with effectiveness. Prioritise genuine contribution over busyness. Advocate for our wellbeing.   *** Resources ***   Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHLiv is thriving working from home. She just wakes up, makes her matcha, throws on a top for a video call while keeping the pajama pants on. It's the good life.Tom works for the same company—Artist Access—and he's thriving a little less. He's always showing up to video calls late. Lucky for him, he's going to continue being Head Designer with this new CEO, Waler, coming on board.The CEO has big dreams, including a return-to-office plan. It's a hybrid schedule—some will be in the office on Monday & Wednesday, others on Tuesday & Thursday.She's immediately off to a rocky start—she's late due to traffic and gets a desk that's not by the window. She's supposed to put all of her belongings away when she's done for the day, but she wants to leave her succulent out, so she leaves a note and signs it Ms. Monday.He sees this as an opportunity to leave some of his stuff out on the desk, which she does not love. At first, she isn't happy about that, but then he sends her a pastry, and all bets are off. They get real flirty, real fast.They end up meeting in person at a work event but still don't know that they're pen pals.They compete together in a work team-building event and they win!!! They win some sort of romantic prize, and they confirm to each other that they are talking to someone, obviously thinking of each other without knowing that they're the each other they're thinking of.After weeks and weeks of talking anonymously, they agree to meet.But she finds out who he is beforehand while she's at a retirement community that Tom's grandma is also at, and she talks about how her grandson is head over heels for someone named Ms. Monday.She goes to talk to him before they go and make a pitch to Walter, and he's just gushing about someone named Ms. Monday. She tries to get him to see that she's Ms. Monday, but he's clueless.The pitch does not go well, which bums him out, but at least he's meeting Ms. Monday tonight!She shows up for the date but decides not to immediately tell him that she's Ms. Monday. She goes to the bathroom and messages him that she's not going to make it. When she comes out, he's like, "Well, my date bailed, wanna sit with me?" They talk, and he ends up saying that he felt like she didn't have his back in the presentation, and then he ends up leaving. She's sad.But they end up having part 2 of their date/work prize, and the sparks are flying. Dummy Tom is like, "You have so many similarities to Ms. Monday!"The next day, Walter shows a logo he had AI made and he wants to go with it. Tom quits. After hearing that Walter wants to get rid of all the designers in favor of AI, Liv quits too…via sticky note.She finally decides to come clean and asks him to meet up again as Ms. Monday. He's so glad that it's her. They kiss and decide they're going to start a business together.

EP 141 - Suky Sodhi, Work From Home vs. Return To OfficeIn this episode, we dive into the ongoing debate around the Return to Office (RTO) mandates issued by many employers. Is returning to the office the right move for companies and employees? How do economic conditions and personal preferences influence this decision? Suky joins us to share insightful perspectives on navigating these challenges in today's evolving workplace.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Why Suky feels you can't let economic conditions act as roadblocksSuky's feelings on the Work From Home vs. Return To Office discussionWhy it's helpful to accept that being in business will never be just smooth sailingWhy Suky feels that going to industry events is so crucial for networking aloneHow to not overwhelm yourself with knowledge and goals after you attend a conferenceWhy we will always have our own biases and how to navigate those while making decisionsHow to decide as an employee  if it's time to part ways and find a new remote job or get back into the officeFAVORITE QUOTE:  Suky Sodhi“We tried the remote thing and it didn't work for us.”Suky Sodhi___________________________________________________________________________CONNECT WITH GUESTFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/professionalselectionInstagram: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sukysodhi/Website: https://canadianstaffingindustrysummit.com/Bio:I'm Suky an adrenaline junkie who celebrates every single win. I believe we must celebrate and collect all our wins along the way as it fuels forward momentum to ensure we exceed our goals. When we fuel forward momentum, complacency simply can not settle in. With over 25 years of experience working in the staffing industry, 16 of those working with global recruitment companies, I bring the knowledge and experience of working in 18 countries and successfully navigating through numerous “recession” cycles.Companies often get so focused on the bottom line that they forget that we are in the “people business”. For me, the magic happens when my clients recognize the best way to create a truly sustainable high-performance sales culture is to bring both into alignment.WHY I'M DIFFERENTI believe sales teams need a voice at the board room table. Leadership traditionally listens to that voice through the VP of Sales who themselves are listening through line managers. So, who at the boardroom table is listening to the voice directly? Neither strategy nor implementation can work alone, both must combine with each stakeholder's own unique mindset—the stories we tell ourselves. Our past experiences also play a massive part in how we receive and respond to training. We work together to create a tailored strategy, that drives revenue-generating results that are not only profitable but sustainable and aligned with your business. When we recognize the unique experience each person is having, we can create a true high-performance sales culture and elevate employee engagement. Both elements must coexist for long-term success. THE PROBLEM Many companies do not recognize that the real “bottleneck” is NOT their sales teams, it's with their leadership team. Leaders often try to correct course by enforcing even stricter KPIs and “rules” because that is what they've learnt. This type of leadership creates emotional and physical detachment from the most important people in the business who are representing you every day. I provide the crucial missing link, ensuring both parties' voices are heard and allows me to deliver bespoke training which meets both the individual and company's objective. ___________________________________________________________________________CONNECT with Lori: Facebook: @LoriMJewettInstagram: @jewettloriThe “80HD Book” - ORDER HERE! This isn't just another podcast—it's a deep dive into the raw, unfiltered power within YOU.
