Closing Debate: The great workplace divide. Is full-time office work the future of culture and engagement?
Many organisations are pushing employees back to the office 4-5 days per week, while others continue hybrid or remote-first models. What does this mean for employee experience, culture, and organisational performance? Is the office truly essential for innovation, collaboration, and belonging or can culture thrive in a distributed world?
The Debate:
- Pro-return: Physical presence is critical for culture, collaboration, and talent development.
- Pro-hybrid/remote: Flexibility drives engagement, retention, and inclusivity without diminishing performance.
