So much better in person.
When you can casually speak to your boss and build rapport so every check in doesn’t feel as formal.
For my junior reports, they can sit behind an experienced person and actually learn how to do the job efficiently, use excel without the mouse, etc.
Seriously who cares if you use the mouse or keyboard? That's not showing your excel skills.
Yes, personally, I find two days in the office with my team in person makes a whole lot of difference and has led to higher performing teams than remote/everyday in office. Personally, I don't think that you get much benefit from 3 or more days in office (especially in the three day model where people can pick what days they come in) but I have seen better collaboration, teaching, and mentoring of junior staff with some regular in person contact within the team.
Yes I think Hybrid was good. Helped to build rapport and what not. I think 5 days RTO has done more damage to productivity tho. By Thursday, most people are kinda mentally checked out and thinking mostly on the weekend. Friday is spent shooting the breeze since no one is starting new work on a Friday.
This. Even before covid Friday was just killing time until 5
I think it brings value when there is a purpose for the in-person days (like preparation for important meetings or workshops). I don’t see value in going in on a regular basis just for the sake of it.
Huge difference in staff development and overall team collaboration.
If you think you're less productive in office, ask yourself why. Any professional should be able to produce equally well in different locations. (Also, I've yet to see anyone who resists RTO who would admit they might be less productive at home).
I don't think there's much of a difference, to be honest.
But going to the office five days a week would add an extra five hours of time to my working week through additional commuting, require me to pay for a childminder just to get my kid to school, reduce my time with my kid to essentially half an hour at each end of the day from Monday through to Friday, and make it basically impossible for me to be the one to make dinner each evening.
So although I'm not certain I'm more productive at home, I'm still going to be extremely salty about any demand to increase time in office. Each day required in office makes my life noticeably worse.
