Deb Hughes on flexible work:
Flexibility is so important as you navigate change, as you think about it, even in the situations we've been in in the last 18 months, the significant changes of people moving out of offices, moving home, that was a big transition. Moving back into offices or stores or restaurants, or wherever people are working, that's going to take another really big transition.
Your priorities changed to move out, and they're going to change when they move back in again. It's going to be really critical that we're thinking about what are the responsibilities people have that they had to figure out how to make it work before, and now they have to figure out how to make it work again. And everybody's in a different place, and we have to have patience with people while they're in that different place.
Frankly it starts with yourself, have patience with yourself, like really understand where your head is at and that's going to help you understand everybody else and where they're coming from. Flexibility and empathy is going to get us all through any big changes that we're moving through.
