Remote Work and the Myth of the Open Office

The Big Themes:


· It’s a great time to connect with your customers and employees.
Try new ideas, try innovation, try creativity, and don’t waste
these opportunities.


· Jamming 300 people into the same footprint is a myth. There’s
not a shred of evidence that the open office makes people more
productive.


· Bill McDermott, CEO of ServiceNow said there will be times some
people choose to work remotely – with childcare, parents, etc. –
and sometimes you need to use the office as a “productivity
tool.”


· Thomas.net is now in the fourth wave of a monthly survey, and a
surprising number of manufacturers are reshoring back to North
America.


· This is going to reshape global manufacturing for decades to
come – and not just the areas we think about.





The Big Quote:


“What we're seeing is more robust hiring than we would have
anticipated. Close to 40% of the companies are actually hiring
right now.”
