⬛️ In really successful companies, people work in the office for the sake of productivity - or so the widespread assumption goes. Is this true? Researchers at the Katz Graduate School for Business at the University of Pittsburgh have investigated this. The results: ➡️The obligation to return does not increase performance. No significant changes in financial performance or company value were found after companies ordered their employees back to work. ➡️ However, they found that managers were not concerned with productivity at all, but with regaining control over employees and having a "scapegoat" in case of poor performance. ➡️ And another result. When the option of working from home was removed, employee satisfaction fell. This is not a call to stop going to the office. It has to be well coordinated when it makes sense and when it doesn't. And there should be a distinction between issues that we can work on at home and those that can be better worked through and resolved together in person. 🌞 #FutureOfWork #NewWork #Mindset #Trust #People #Innovation #Leadership #Homeoffice #Office #Productivity #Work40 #Industry40 #FutureIntelligence 🌱 ➡️ Study: tinyurl.com/2y9dekv5 | University of Pittsburgh @Pitt_Business
