Young white-collar staff feel caught between a rock and a hard place — they valueover old-fashioned 9-5 commuting, but are even more worried about seeing their careers stall unless they head back into an office. That’s encouraging many to be among the first to return to their desks.
Sophia McCully, a 28-year-old working in public policy research, has worked from home ever since starting her current role. She believes the enforced isolation has had a significant impact on her professional development. “If we think that coming to the office is about learning, we need not everyone but people who want to learn and those they want to learn from in the office at the same time.”
“Socialisation into the organisational culture, making connections, understanding the soft tissue — the unwritten rules — of the organization, that is where time together is also really, really important. To build and feel the culture of the organization, that is particularly critical for younger people,” he said.
