Have we really changed where, when & how we work since the pandemic started? The answers may surprise you. Read today's press release for a summary of our findings & see our full research report featuring analysis, commentary, and guidance on next steps at lnkd.in/ennS2w6z

Leaders who either secretly or publicly believe economic uncertainty will reverse the flexible work trend, driving employees back to the office and an outdated work style are in for disappointment. I explain why in this week’s Now & Next of Work newsletter linkedin.com/pulse/regardle…

Why I’m not surprised by new data from Scoop and @BCG that found companies w/ flexible work models outperform those w/o + how your view of flexibility as a perk or business strategy impacts performance. Find these insights in my Now+Next of Work newsletter linkedin.com/pulse/perk-str…

Half of all flexible employees receive no training or guidance to manage their flexibility, according to our latest nat'l research. I share how that lack of support impedes biz priorities & flexible work success in my latest Now+Next of Work newsletter linkedin.com/pulse/what-mak…

Last week I celebrated the publication of my @Maggie8Jackson's book "Uncertain: The Wisdom and Wonder of Being Unsure". I am honored that she included, as an example, what happened when I supported uncertainty in one of our flexible work transformations. linkedin.com/posts/caliwill…

How do we break the cycle so we don't find ourselves even further apart, having the same conversation Employers: "Return"; Employees: "Why?"--at the beginning of the new year? My thoughts on @CNNThisMorning #reimaginework #workflexibility youtube.com/watch?v=63YLV6…

Leaders knew flexible/remote work wasn't going away in 2018, and yet they weren't "well prepared." My thoughts on @LinkedIn #reimaginework #workflexibility #flexiblework #remotework #wfh #performance #leadership linkedin.com/posts/caliwill…

As a flexible work strategist, I'm asked about "what" we do. Recently, I had a rare chance on the Consulting Success Podcast hosted by @MichaelZipursky to share "how and why." More in my latest @LinkedIn newsletter: linkedin.com/pulse/what-goi…

“We are coming out of what was a crisis-driven execution of #flexibility...And we are still reimagining how, when, and where we’re going to work.” My convo w/ @kkschwab of @Marketplace about what's going on with #WeWork, co-working & workspace in general marketplace.org/2023/08/09/wew…

@kjkacher @NBCNews Not until they are ready to partner with their people and fundamentally reimagine how, when and where work is done, I’m afraid. Mandates and policies just seem so much easier, faster and “fairer.” But ultimately they are harder, slower and disconnected from reality.

@caliyost @NBCNews I just did a similar interview with CNBC - I wonder when they'll start listening? #rto cnbc.com/2023/08/11/80p…

Companies push to fill empty offices, as some city centers sit empty nbcnews.com/nightly-news/v… via @nbcnews Featuring my thoughts: “You can mandate people coming back, and they may very well comply. But that is not an engaged, purpose-driven, happy employee.” #RTO #returntooffice

I offer my perspective in @emmabgo latest @nytimes article exploring how a growing # of leaders are “embracing a new style of corporate machismo” in which “work is war”& they’re responding w/ “Top Gun-style leadership training” including military & car racing types of simulations

Is flexibility just about young people trying to protect their ability to work remotely in this new post-COVID landscape? I had the opportunity to delve into this important workplace topic & more in a lively discussion on KFNX 1100 The Bill Brady Show. youtube.com/watch?v=SVpOoa…
