The pandemic has altered corporate America as employees shift from being work-focused to seeking freedom and balance. But many company owners and senior executives lack the knowledge to build consistent, scalable businesses in remote and hybrid work environments. What can you observe from recent workforce developments, and how can you create an attractive culture?

Elon Musk’s decision to require 80-hour on-site work weeks has deterred employees, with many leaving to pursue flexible remote opportunities or hybrid environments offering child care, fitness centers, and restaurants. Future of work advocate and culture expert Steve Cadigan helps middle management teams communicate the value of remote work to their senior executives. He maintains that leaders should adapt their departments to manage uncertainty and adversity by making current and future decisions and generating trust and confidence among team members.

Join Rolando Rosas and Dave Kelly in this episode of What The Teck? as Steve Cadigan returns to share strategies for adapting to the evolving work world. Steve explains how to create a culture in hybrid and remote work environments, the dilemma of corporate America, and leadership’s impact on company culture.
