“Whatever happens when people start coming back into the office, it’s going to feel weird, and exciting, and thrilling, and annoying at first,” Petersen says. “And it’s going to take a few months for both workers themselves and companies to figure out what rhythms work, what standards, and what ideas.”
In this episode of the WorkLab podcast, Petersen talks to host Elise Hu about the opportunity to reinvent work in the shift to hybrid mode. How can companies and employees make work more rewarding and meaningful—and promote wellbeing?
At the end of the episode, you’ll hear from Daniel Hidalgo, a Microsoft employee who shares his own story of finding flexibility at work at a time he needed it most.
WorkLab is a place for experts on the future of work to share their insights and opinions. As students of the future of work, Microsoft values inputs from a diverse set of voices. That said, the opinions and findings of the experts we interview are their own and do not reflect Microsoft’s own research or positions.
You can follow the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
