Organizations across industries are revisiting workplace expectations and calling employees back to the office. In this episode, Tim Dyck and Katie Currens explore why this trend is accelerating and what leaders often overlook when making these decisions.

Their discussion hits on the human need for connection and the risks of siloed remote work. Tim challenges leaders to examine how much trust plays into their decision, reminding them that flexibility existed long before "remote" and "hybrid" became labels.

Rather than choosing sides, the conversation emphasizes balance. They highlight the importance of office time for collaboration while allowing focused work to happen where it makes sense. Leaders should focus on outcomes, not optics, and create expectations rooted in trust.
