data-test-id="article-content-blocks">  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class>During the COVID-19 pandemic, remote work was a necessity, allowing many businesses to remain operational during unprecedented times. Now, as organizations evaluate long-term strategies, many are introducing return-to-office (RTO) mandates and some people (okay, a lot of people) are not happy. But, commuting hassles aside, there’s actually a lot to be said for working with your colleagues, together, in an office, like the 'good old days.' Back in my day, we got up in the morning and went to work in an office, and we liked it just fine. </span> </p> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class>Now get off my lawn, gather ‘round (not on the lawn), and listen to all the reasons why working onsite benefits both companies and their employees. </span> </p> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class="font-[700]">1. Innovation needs collaboration</span> </p> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class>One of the most compelling reasons for returning to the office is driving collaboration and creativity. Physical proximity leads to spontaneous interactions, working alone in your house doesn’t. When we’re all interacting by Teams, Zoom, etc. meetings have to be set up in advance. We don’t bump into each other in the hallway or the kitchen, or gather for spontaneous exchanges and to bounce ideas off each other. Sure, you can send a Slack message that might spark a conversation, but it’s equally likely that it will be missed or ignored. Impromptu brainstorming sessions and unplanned discussions generate ideas that might not arise during structured virtual meetings.</span> </p> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class>Research, including one study from Yale, has found that face-to-face communication is more effective at stimulating brain activity, which is essential for coming up with creative and innovative ideas and solutions to problems. While remote tools like Zoom and Slack allow for efficient communication, they can’t replicate the dynamic, in-person exchanges that drive breakthroughs.</span> </p> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class="font-[700]">2. Building a stronger company culture and a stronger personal character</span> </p> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class>Being physically present in the office allows for more opportunities to network with colleagues, enhance professional relationships, and build trust, confidence, and credibility. Both company culture and personal character thrive on these personal connections and shared experiences, things that are hard or impossible to cultivate in a remote environment. Returning to the office opens the door for employees to develop stronger bonds with colleagues, reinforcing a sense of community and belonging and helping to grow character, particularly in younger employees entering the workforce.</span> </p> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class>For new employees, especially those early in their careers, being physically present in the office is key to learning how to interact professionally and building relationships with mentors. It’s through these in-person interactions that people absorb knowledge and the unspoken elements of workplace culture. We learn how things are done, how one is expected to behave in a corporate setting, how to listen, stand up for ourselves, effectively argue a point, and to pick our battles. </span> </p> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class="font-[700]">4. Stronger organizational cohesion</span> </p> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class>Being in an office together can foster organizational cohesion as employees are better positioned to understand and embody the company's mission, values, and goals. The alignment that comes from shared experiences in the workplace strengthens the collective identity of a team, leading to higher morale and a clearer understanding of organizational direction.</span> </p> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class>In contrast, remote work can sometimes create a fragmented workforce where employees feel disconnected from the bigger picture. Regular in-office time helps ensure everyone is on the same page and working toward common objectives.</span> </p> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class="font-[700]">4. Enhancing productivity and accountability</span> </p> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class>While remote work offers flexibility, it can also blur the lines between professional and personal life, leading to distractions or burnout. In contrast, the office environment is designed to support focus and productivity. Without the interruptions of home life, employees can concentrate better on tasks, meeting deadlines, and collaborating with peers in real time.</span> </p> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class>The office also fosters accountability. Regular face-to-face interactions with managers and colleagues help employees stay aligned with team goals and organizational priorities. This can lead to faster decision-making and a clearer sense of direction, especially for projects that require close coordination.</span> </p> </div> <div class="inline-articles bg-color-surface-new border-hidden rounded-sm p-1 mx-auto my-1.5 mamabear:w-2/3 inline-articles__after"> <h2 class="text-xl font-medium ml-1.5 my-1 text-color-text mamabear:text-center">Recommended by LinkedIn</h2> <div class="flex flex-wrap mx-0.5 babybear:mx-1.5"> <div class="content-author-card flex flex-col max-w-[270px] h-auto rounded-md border-1 border-system-gray-30 border-solid pb-1.5 inline-article mx-auto my-1 border-hidden papabear:w-[219px] babybear:min-w-full mamabear:min-w-full h-auto bg-color-canvas-tint"> <a class="no-underline" data-tracking-control-name="inline-recommended-articles" data-tracking-will-navigate href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/rethinking-return-to-office-mandates-anthony-j-james-tc4lf"> <img class="content-image w-full h-[150px] bg-cover rounded-t-md object-cover" data-delayed-url="https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/D4D12AQEhkdcJdu5CuA/article-cover_image-shrink_720_1280/article-cover_image-shrink_720_1280/0/1721200111156?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=5G9ujR-62k1Cd_b0V8IFtQ2ooIJdihk-agbuw9fy4fo"> <div class="inline-article-title text-md text-color-text font-bold pl-2 pt-1 pr-1.5">Rethinking Return-to-Office Mandates</div> <div class="inline-article-meta px-2 mt-1 font-sans text-xs font-normal text-color-text-low-emphasis h-full"> <span class="inline-article-author pt-0.5"> Anthony J James </span> <span class="before:middot pt-0.5 inline-article-published-date"> 6 months ago </span> </div> </a>  </div> <div class="content-author-card flex flex-col max-w-[270px] h-auto rounded-md border-1 border-system-gray-30 border-solid pb-1.5 inline-article mx-auto my-1 border-hidden papabear:w-[219px] babybear:min-w-full mamabear:min-w-full h-auto bg-color-canvas-tint"> <a class="no-underline" data-tracking-control-name="inline-recommended-articles" data-tracking-will-navigate href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-support-in-person-interactions-within-workplace-dan-schawbel"> <img class="content-image w-full h-[150px] bg-cover rounded-t-md object-cover" data-delayed-url="https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/D4E12AQERuaqfkHEReQ/article-cover_image-shrink_720_1280/article-cover_image-shrink_720_1280/0/1671904232379?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=bhM2MWWzLEjmreWTbIxFabRZ0SXbWX9wQKeDNtVR0v8"> <div class="inline-article-title text-md text-color-text font-bold pl-2 pt-1 pr-1.5">How to Support In-Person Interactions Within a…</div> <div class="inline-article-meta px-2 mt-1 font-sans text-xs font-normal text-color-text-low-emphasis h-full"> <span class="inline-article-author pt-0.5"> Dan Schawbel </span> <span class="before:middot pt-0.5 inline-article-published-date"> 1 year ago </span> </div> </a>  </div> <div class="content-author-card flex flex-col max-w-[270px] h-auto rounded-md border-1 border-system-gray-30 border-solid pb-1.5 inline-article mx-auto my-1 border-hidden papabear:w-[219px] babybear:min-w-full mamabear:min-w-full h-auto bg-color-canvas-tint"> <a class="no-underline" data-tracking-control-name="inline-recommended-articles" data-tracking-will-navigate href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/office-culture-so-2019-heres-why-remote-taking-over-clevertech-1c"> <img class="content-image w-full h-[150px] bg-cover rounded-t-md object-cover" data-delayed-url="https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/D5612AQEBmSq_lMvO8g/article-cover_image-shrink_600_2000/article-cover_image-shrink_600_2000/0/1669847910582?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=Be903qSLkZzop6jKNDaxONcERU8Ex9Tp5t9d2UkSgQY"> <div class="inline-article-title text-md text-color-text font-bold pl-2 pt-1 pr-1.5">Office Culture is So 2019: Here’s Why Remote Culture…</div> <div class="inline-article-meta px-2 mt-1 font-sans text-xs font-normal text-color-text-low-emphasis h-full"> <span class="inline-article-author pt-0.5"> Lumenalta </span> <span class="before:middot pt-0.5 inline-article-published-date"> 1 year ago </span> </div> </a>  </div> </div> </div>  <div class="article-main__content" data-test-id="publishing-text-block"> <p> <span class="font-[700]">5.

pro-RTO posts are almost always managers. Managers are different than people who make things in the office. (Those things include emails, documents, software, drawings, designs, etc). Paul Graham said it well. People who manage constantly switch context directing work and setting direction, while makers need time and a distraction-free environment to get their work done. When people switch context from hour to hour, it benefits them to have everybody close at hand. When people need a distraction-free environment, it benefits them to work remotely. Makers outnumber managers, which is why your opinion on this topic is unpopular. Your 5th point is lame. Back in the day, everybody showed up to the office, but only 20% moved up the food chain to "get ahead". It is true that showing up will benefit 20% of the people, but it certainly does nothing extra for the other 80%. Many folks at Dell realized that when they chose to work remotely, even if it cost them "getting ahead". </p>  </div>   </div> <div class="comment__actions flex flex-row flex-wrap items-center ml-2"
