Update: 2025-09-30

Description

How can organizations increase connection, collaboration, and performance while offering the flexibility employees desire?

Why do leaders hold the key to making hybrid work more effective and impactful?

My guests on this episode are Peter Cappelli and Ranya Nehmeh, co-authors of "In Praise of the Office: The Limits to Hybrid and Remote Work"

During our conversation Peter, Ranya, and I discuss:

Why hybrid work isn’t delivering on its promise for employees or organizations.
What’s been lost in remote and hybrid workplaces - mentorship, culture, and career growth.
What their research - contrary to popular belief - reveals about hybrid work and its real-world implementation.
How leadership accountability is the key to making hybrid work.
Clear rules and simple fixes HR can use to strengthen hybrid work.
