March 14, 2022

Several Harvard Business School faculty members shared some great ideas to help guide employers into the new normal, including prioritizing face time, creating a flexible hybrid approach and being sensitive to trauma, burnout and anxiety.

Supporting employees mental health is one of a few ways that companies can help employees who are reluctantly returning to the office.

Not only is the Great Resignation a real thing, but so is anxiety created by returning to the office. It’s hard to just erase two years of Covid trauma and the way it has scrambled our work lives. But there are steps employers can take, including talking to employees about what they need, when it comes to crafting policies to ease anxiety.

A Future Forum survey this past summer showed that executives want to work from the office 3-5 days a week, compared to a third of employees. Why the disconnect?

Lord Richard Layard, preeminent happiness researcher, shares some surprising results on connecting well-being, mental health, and how employers can play a role in improving our lives at work.
