SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE with Vinay Kumar

To mandate or not to mandate employees’ return to office – that’s a question leaders and employers find themselves asking more frequently than not today, in this age of the hybrid workplace.

Welcome to this month’s episode of our 'Trendspotting' series of podcasts where we deep-dive into a hot topic or trend, to bring you insights and some tips too, all in under 15 minutes!

Today, guest-host Sanjay Dugar invites Shaleel Nalakath to explore some of the different perspectives surrounding the return to the office space. They find that one size does not fit all and that it’s less about the mandate but more about inclusiveness – it’s time for ‘free dimensional working’ which combines the best of work-from-home and work-from-office. Hit play for some great insights, data and tips for leaders around this hot trend!
