Culture War: Back-to-Office vs. Hybrid & Remote

Description:

In this session, we hear from key executives from large organizations championing both sides of the argument for returning to the office vs remote/hybrid work.

This debate will focus on exploring the merits and shortcomings of both models, as more leadership teams consider the best model for their employees and how they can maximize the impact within their own organizations - covering topics like flexibility vs. structure, productivity and collaboration, hiring and access to talent, and costs and operational considerations, as well as best practices for all setups.
