The return-to-office debate often gets framed around productivity. But what if productivity isn’t the real issue? This episode takes on the harder questions about what remote work can cost companies when it comes to culture, learning, and loyalty.
Brian and Laura revisit their case for flexible work with Steve Connelly, founder and president of Connelly Partners, who brings a different perspective to the conversation. They debate whether employees can develop as effectively from behind a screen and how in-person connection can influence professional growth and business performance. Along the way, they find some common ground on hybrid work, early-career employees, and the responsibility both leaders and employees have for building a successful organization.
