Sure, that applies at the office...but it also applies at LAVIDGE staff parties!

Employers turn to badge-swipe data for in-office attendance verification The Wall Street Journal looks at how employers are using badge data to monitor in-office attendance and enforce return-to-work policies. Companies like Google and TikTok are tracking badge-swipe data to ensure employees are meeting office attendance requirements. Some companies are also using other data points, such as mobile phone swipes and multiple badge swipes, to determine if employees are actively working in the office. Employers have legal latitude to monitor workers and are turning to more granular sources of data like IP addresses and heat sensors. However, tracking attendance can lead to concerns about surveillance and alienating workers. Companies are also interested in understanding office utilization and maximizing space efficiency. While employers can track workers, relying solely on badge data may not accurately reflect productivity. Employers are cracking down on lackluster office attendance and some are threatening disciplinary action for non-compliance.

WSJ: Does getting hold of your co-workers ever feel like a scavenger hunt? Do you commute in and drop by their desks, only to find they are working remotely? Are some teammates only on email or Slack—or can you actually call them on the phone? There is a name for all of the time we spend on the job puzzling out who’s on Zoom, who’s coming from down the hall and who’s messaging from three time zones away: the “coordination tax.” The term used to refer to the logistical challenges of a growing enterprise. Now it is gaining traction among executives and workplace consultants to describe the increasing amounts of time workers spend getting in sync since millions began toggling between work-from-home arrangements and the office.

Fully remote, fully on-site, or hybrid. Many companies are struggling to make this decision. Many employees are refusing to work fully on-site. I firmly believe that the compromise of hybrid work, where on-site attendance is required 1-3 days per week, will be the Goldilocks "just right" solution for companies that want to retain/attract top talent while still encouraging in person engagement/collaboration.

Gossiping or spreading rumors about others. 6. Intentionally withholding important information. Office politics is a bad habit. it's created too much naro environment in office premises. we should avoid office politics. #onlinedailylife #officepolitics visit: onlinedailylife.com

Some companies, like Zoom, are asking workers to come back to the office at least a couple days a week. Some like my own employer, Indeed, are remaining built and flexible for fully remote work 🙌 Smuckers is presenting another interesting format as the options for remote vs in-office evolve. They call it "core" weeks, and it's resulting in 70-80% of their HQ being full during those times. Personally, I am encouraged to see companies looking at different options for policies that work for both their employees well-being and their business needs. https://lnkd.in/gX2Jg7SH

“Why does the American Office Worker Lag Behind European Colleagues in Returning to the Office?”. We have identically sized land masses so I’ve been wondering why the US is dragging its #RTO feet and has seen a significant rise in office vacancy rates whereas European office re-entry rates are higher, exceeding 80% in cities like London, Paris, Madrid, and Amsterdam. 🇺🇸 A Rubbish Commute? - In the USA, longer commutes, inconvenient transport systems and poor quality public transport make remote work a more attractive option. In contrast, European cities typically have more reliable and efficient public transportation, making commuting less burdensome. 🇺🇸 Bye Bye Presenteeism? - the USA has been late to the remote and hybrid party and during the pandemic learned to love working in slippers and slobbies. In Europe, it has long been part of the working mix coupled with a stronger emphasis on in-person collaboration. 🇺🇸 Labour Market? - [relatively] low unemployment rates gives employees more leverage to negotiate flexible working conditions or vote with their (slippered) feet. 🇺🇸 Sympathetic Infrastructure? - European cities generally have better public transportation, better urban planning, and better workplace amenities that make the office experience better. A number of IBM offices across EMEA have been renovated and are great places to work (with London being the perfect example). 🇺🇸 Don’t Mention Vacation Days - my American colleagues are of the opinion, I’m sure, that we Europeans are on holiday for at least half of the year. In the US, with fewer vacation days, maybe remote-work brings a semblance of work-life balance? What do you think? Karl Haller, Dee Waddell, Joe Dittmar, Connie McDonald, Alexandra Gordon, Monica Proothi, Jonathan Wright, Jennifer Kested, Alexandra Leppert, Sara Kronon, Jerry Edmunds, Brooke Einspanier, Tess Rock, Jane Cheung, Paul Rakowski Given that an average person might spend around 12.8% of their life working (if they work full-time from age 22 to 65 and live to 80 years old) (double that for Management Consultants obvs lol), RTO has notable impacts on our Consumer Products, Hospitality and Retail industry including increased online shopping and so demand for ecommerce platforms and home delivery, changes in the types of products consumers are buying (more slippers, less ties), a move towards smaller, more strategically located stores, often in The Burbs and more agile supply chain strategies to meet fluctuating demands. In London, I’ve noticed that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday is #TheNewFriday. The much much much overused New Normal needs to address the demands of a hybrid workforce and the changing consumer. #ReturnToOffice #WorkplaceCulture #RemoteWork #HybridWork #EmployeeExperience #OfficeTrends #WorkLifeBalance #IBMRetail #IBMConsumer #FMCG #ConsumerGoods #Retail #RethinkRetail #RethinkRetailTopExpert RETHINK Retail
“You show up, and then nobody else from your team is there, and then you’re on back-to-back Zoom meetings, which you could’ve done from home.” Sound familar? This is the state of #HybridWork for many as we pay the #CoordinationTax of trying to align #WFO and #WFH days with our colleagues and teams. A big challenge is that while 40% of companies have hybrid work policies, only 8% specify which days to be where. I still think The J.M. Smucker Co. has come up with the best solution, setting — and calendering well in advance — specific #MarketWeeks where everyone must be on-site and allowing everyone to work remotely other times.

California innovation coming to a city near you? Hub examples: - Twitter is now in Austin - Airbnb is now in San Diego - Coinbase is now in Miami The trend of tech companies opening workspaces in new cities will likely continue as more and more employees choose to work remotely (and flee failing big cities à la San Fran). This strategic solution allows companies to maintain and cultivate their culture; improve team collaboration; attract and retain top talent; and help foster a better work/life balance for their employees. As it relates to AI-related job trends, it's worth referencing Nice Machine's "Number of AI Jobs to Climb (September 2023)" article: "The information worker is far more remote today than they were five years ago; however (take note) it’s anticipated many GenAI jobs will be in-person some or all of the time. According to the 2023 Brookings Institution Report, more AI hubs include: - Washington, DC - San Diego - Austin" Bottomline: Tech/AI-related jobs are decentralizing (a bit), and workplaces are making a bit of a comeback in cities that foster better work/life balance. We think this is a good thing for humans.

Some companies are ordering workers to return to the office. Others are bringing the office to them.

Interesting return-to-office approach: "Smucker has adopted a return-to-office strategy that is unusual among U.S. companies. The company expects its roughly 1,300 Orrville-based corporate workers to be on site as little as six days a month, or about 25% of the time, depending on their roles. Employees are told to hit that threshold by coming in during 22 “core” weeks a year. Many employees can live anywhere in the U.S. so long as they pay their own way to get to Orrville for core weeks. This has led to a growing group of super-commuters who reside elsewhere but work in Orrville."
