We need to move on from wanting to re-establish the status quo of the past. We will not be returning in February 2020. But, like the changes we experienced in early 2000 and the mortgage bust in 2008, certain realities will not return.
Why would we try to hold onto what has since passed? Hybrid or remote work is a reality, employees have options, and individuals want to be happy.
Accept, appreciate, redefine and move forward. If you choose not to, you may be left behind or lose out. It is not a reset but instead a move forward button.
