360Learning - Why you should return to the office

The work-from-home debate is hotter than ever. A growing number of companies are demanding that employees return to the office, and while both sides have reasons to believe their way is better, it’s not as black and white as it seems. 

For example, despite the increased flexibility that comes with remote work, employee loneliness is a growing epidemic. And it's more than just a bad feeling–there can be serious impacts on physical and mental health, which have a consequence on business outcomes.

Balancing high employee autonomy with regular, high-quality experiences to connect and collaborate IRL with peers could be a more effective way to keep today’s and future workforces happier, healthier, and more productive. 

Fast-emerging skills gaps are another challenge that require a different approach. Skills mapping can help allocate projects and training more accurately within your organization. And evidence-based learning helps maximize L&D impact by identifying problems first, before crafting solutions.
