“During the Corona period, we developed many systems of work from home, online meetings and video conferences, and we even became accustomed to them. Today, the demands of the times are such that if we restart these systems, it will be in the national interest. We must prioritise work from home, online conferences and virtual meetings again”

Why isn't this recommendation👆🏻happening in #Europe? 🤔

"[…] if you haven’t embraced remote or hybrid working yet, the fuel price crisis could be the motivation you need to do so"

"It can reduce pressure and financial burdens borne by your staff, and it conveys a certain level of trust from executives that employees will work in a dedicated manner for the good of the company" 👈🏻 You reckon? 🤔

And yet...? 🙄

"Most companies treat employees as a cost to be managed rather than customers who choose how much of their personal energy and effort to bring to work every day"

If only managers / leaders would pay more attention to employees' needs & wants AND try to meet them along the way, right?

This article 👉🏻 https://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/what-the-return-to-office-debate-misses-employees-are-customers/ is quite an interesting read on shaping up the #EmployeeExperience at the workplace.

I'd go one step further, if I may ... Why aren't workers themselves "demanding" to both their employers AND governments to have multiple days working from home for the next foreseeable future establishing #DistanceWorking as a new operating model (for those who can) to help mitigate some of the direct pain they are suffering from (Read ... $$$)

Have we learned anything? It's not as if we are back to 1973, right? 🤔

“[…] 78% of employees have taken on more flexible work because of the rising gas prices”

Well, we aren't really that surprised about this one, eh? 👉🏻 https://www.hcamag.com/us/specialization/financial-wellness/flexible-work-in-demand-as-employees-try-to-dodge-rising-fuel-costs/571749

“More than two in three (69%) employees said they use flexible work to pay for groceries, 54% for gas, and 34% for rent or mortgage” 💥🤯 [1/2]

"The European Commission will present a set of recommendations to its members on how to ramp up clean power and curb demand for fuel [...]. It calls for, among other measures, urging businesses to mandate at least 1 day of remote work each week"

Why not more days?

Ok, then 👉🏻 https://e360.yale.edu/digest/iran-war-energy-crisis-remote-work

"It estimated that 3 days of remote work each week, for those whose jobs allow it, could trim national oil consumption by between 2 and 6 percent"
