The article pointed out three problems in what they called a <em>disconnect<\/em> between bosses and workers:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Bosses are more likely to be content to be back at work than their employees. \u201cAnd no wonder,\u201d states the article, \u201cthey have better homes, better offices, and better pay.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Bosses tend to be their own best counsel. They won\u2019t listen to concerns.<\/li>\n<li>There is a lack of transparency; bosses don\u2019t share their plans nor do they care to listen. The \u201cneed to know\u201d mentality has always been a problem.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As a <a href=\"https:\/\/scottburrows.com\/overcoming-adversity-resilience-speaker\/\">motivational resilience speaker<\/a> who speaks nationwide on workplaces developing a more resilient mindset, I know the three concerns raised in the article are valid.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The conversation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The topics of change and resilience are among the most important challenges any organization can face, in these post-pandemic times. I think that as a motivational resilience speaker that it\u2019s important to spend some time on the dangers of inflexibility.<\/p>\n<p>The financial industry, especially, initially wanted to dig in its heels and make the demand that they expect all workers to return to their offices full-time.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, in a report appearing on Buffer.com, the 2021 \u201cState of Remote Work\u201d report, nearly 98 percent of those surveyed \u201cwould\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/2021-state-of-remote-work\">like to work remotely at least some of the time for the rest of their career<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the worst days, the lockdown days of the pandemic proved that technology could work to keep businesses going, there was also a sense of alienation and a lack of teamwork that people missed. Nevertheless, for upper management to dismiss concerns of workers will result in dissatisfaction and forcing employees into choosing alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>There appears to be a midway point slowly developing as expressed by Daniel Pinto of JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co (CNBC, February 2022):<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoing back to the office with 100% of the people 100% of the time, I think there is zero chance of that. As for everyone working from home all the time, there is also zero chance of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There is going to have to be <em>significant negotiation<\/em> and beyond that, a determination of organizations to choose mentoring over inflexibility and for executive leaders to practice greater resilience and to start listening to the concerns of staff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Future of Work<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite the doomsayers, the future of work is exciting if bosses and workers alike find a place where resiliency takes precedence over inflexibility. The determination to forge a new, more agile and more technology-driven work place will ask organizations to visualize the benefits and economy of a hybrid environment.<\/p>\n<p>True, offices may undergo change, and virtual reality and more sophisticated work platforms might re-define how organizations function. However, if the end result of change is to have more efficient and more effective workflows and outcomes, is that such a negative outcome? As a motivational resilience speaker, I feel that we should view change as positive and reject an inflexible mindset that has never helped us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To reach Scott Burrows, <a href=\"https:\/\/scottburrows.com\/overcoming-adversity-resilience-speaker\/\">Motivational Resilience Speaker<\/a>, please contact Scott today by phone at 520 \u2013 548 \u2013 1169 or through this website.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; If You Think Resilience is Difficult, Try Inflexibility! &nbsp; About a year ago Wired magazine wrote an inciteful business article on why bosses don\u2019t listen to employees.
