In this CNBC interview, Brian Elliott and Joanne Lipman, a Yale lecturer and author, discuss the impracticality of returning to a traditional five-day in-office workweek.They emphasize that such expectations are outdated, given the proven success of remote and hybrid work models in enhancing productivity and employee satisfaction. They recommend that leaders embrace flexible work arrangements, invest in technology to support remote collaboration, and focus on outcomes rather than physical presence. By doing so, organizations can adapt to the evolving future of work, foster a positive work culture, and improve overall productivity.
