Mark Ridley & Andrew MacLaren: Return to office or return to sender?
Manage episode 450771763 series 3584530
Will Amazon's return-to-office mandate be a success, or will Andy Jassy's employees slap on a return label? Reed co-founder Mark Ridley and Dr Andrew MacLaren, Associate Professor of Team Communication at Heriot-Watt University, join Tom to talk all about the points for and against office vs remote work - and why hybrid might be not the perfect middle ground.
What does Jassy's order mean for remote workers who won't relocate? Will other companies benefit from a new flow of talent? And just how do you structure your firm to take advantage of remote workers? Here's a hint: Look to how you planned your cloud infrastructure.
As well as their professional qualifications, Mark and Andrew are co-hosts of the Teamcraft podcast. You can find their own episode on virtual teams here.
GitLab's guide to an all-remote workforce, discussed in the show, can be found here, and the company handbook here.
