“This year we have seen more resignations from jobs than ever before, so much that many are naming 2021 as The Great Resignation. Now that the competition for the best talent has instantly become global, companies are going to be forced to start offering fully-distributed\/all-remote positions, and hybrid-remote is just the beginning.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Adrian Gostick<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
“One of the things that separate a great company from the pack is the way its leaders at all levels respond to change. This process begins by understanding that no matter how healthy culture is, a good portion of employees will naturally resist any change, or indifferently ignore leaders\u2019 pleas to do things in a new way.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Karen Mangia<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
“When you\u2019re working from home, [work is] always there. Always available. It\u2019s unhealthy if you\u2019re always peering into your work pantry. When work is always on and always available, it\u2019s vital that you create some healthy segmentation.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Darren Murph<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
“There\u2019s been a lot of preconceived notions that have been broken down about what jobs can and can\u2019t be done remotely. Turns out many more than we thought actually can be. And this is even during this suboptimal time. I do think that companies if they can stick it out and build some remote muscle through this, they\u2019ll be really, really in a great position going forward.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
