"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? 🤔

Oooh, look at that! I think I may have found a viable alternative to both #Zoom and #MSTeams for all of my online 1:1 and 1:many Web meetings:

“[…] 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"

"No longer confined to physical rooms, presence is now established through clarity, consistency and intentional communication across digital spaces"

This 👉🏻 https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbescoachescouncil/2026/04/07/hybrid-work-is-redefining-executive-presence-heres-how-to-adapt/ is quite an interesting read, if anything, because it proves we haven't learned much over the last 6 years about #DistanceWorking, if the focus from #Leadership teams is still real-time communications with their teams via meetings galore 😤🤯😔
