With the talent flight/rotation going on in the PR industry and the stark differences in WFH/WFA preferences between say people with kids and not, management is terrified to misstep and cause a backlash. There will be a ton of “let’s try this” without it being mandatory or impacting people’s standing. It’s laudable that many firms are doing this and will definitely help with employee loyalty.

like

Hopefully like the efforts around DE&I also impact hybrid approach and that companies work hard to avoid “proximity bias” towards those in the office versus not, which is what I am hearing it called.

Total flexibility — we can come in as much or as little as we want (3 days guarantees a permanent desk), set the time zones we’d like to work from, and all employees can remain/transition to remote permanently.

I like this. The bit about 3 days giving you a permanent desk communicates to employees that it's their decision to make, while also setting some expectations. And I do think it's fair for firms to ask employees to make a decision eventually so teams can plan accordingly.

Um, I was told there would be no math.

To be clear, they did not mandate 3 days a week in the office and specific policies won’t be finalized until August. The communication said they estimate that people will be in 3 days a week on average. Some roles may require more, some less.

There’s a lot to figure out! There are a lot of different factors that go into creating a hybrid environment that works. I’d rather they take their time and get it right. I get the impression from Lisa’s communications that we’ll be pretty flexible, but we’ll never be 100% remote if that’s the kind of flex people are looking for.

like

Let’s be clear, this is subjective and not a mandatory back to office. All teams are still very flexible. Some were having remote employees before Covid, Edelman Heath anyway had always been flexible.

like

Exactly.

We’re being asked to come in 2 days/week starting Sept but aren’t being forced and allegedly days won’t be tracked.

I've heard London/Europe isn't being asked to go in at all.

There are a lot of conversations going on at enterprise level for all companies - agencies, in house, etc - because an employee’s “primary working location” has a significant impact on the company’s city and/or personal taxes. In some states, cities are expecting a loss of 60% of the tax funds PER COMPANY, even with a hybrid workforce. Theres a huge ripple effect taking place here.

When it comes to your job search:

1) How often/much do you get feedback from recruiters or whoever you just spoke with? Feels like we're always in the dark. One way feedback street.

2) Who do you like to work with? Headhunters vs internalrecruiters? Is the experience different?

3) Have you had to align your interviews so that the offers would come in close/same day? What's your strategy?

4) What's your process in weighing [multiple] offers? If that ever happens? Where do you keep your notes?
