Should we all go back to working from the office? Is it better to work from home? What about hybrid?  Are these even the right questions?

The pursuit of work life balance is fatally flawed according to the results of a survey of over 5000 people.  ( Check out the article that inspired this episode: here)

We know that  wellbeing is holistic. No-one talks about health - life balance, or community - life balance.  Your occupational wellbeing is a part of your overall wellbeing, it shouldn’t be treated as separate. 

The report says that it is better to give autonomy. It is about the power of choice, over 90% of the respondents said that they would prefer better wellbeing than higher pay. 

Perhaps rather than mandates from the top a better way forward might be collaborating together to seek a win-win, a third alternative.
