Office mandates are not a loyalty test

Gleb Tsipursky | The Hill

Remote and hybrid work remain firmly established despite the rise in return-to-office mandates. Recent data suggests that structured flexibility can support retention and performance, while giving employees autonomy over where they work and allowing companies to use office time for collaboration, mentoring, and connection.

An epochal shift: The turbulent AI era is here. The choices we make now are critical.

Bill Gates | Gates Notes

AI could transform work, healthcare, education, agriculture, and other areas, but its rapid adoption could also displace jobs and deepen inequality. The transition will require governments and businesses to prepare workers, rethink how labor is valued, and establish safeguards so that AI’s benefits are broadly shared rather than concentrated among a small group.

The work-from-home habit that’s slowly draining your energy

The CEO Magazine

Working from home can improve flexibility and work-life balance, but it can also remove the natural movement, breaks, and boundaries that an office environment provides. Building intentional routines around movement, meals, working hours, and transitions can help remote and hybrid workers protect their energy, health, and long-term performance.

How to Spot a Toxic Leader—Before Hiring Them

Douglas H. Reynolds and Steven G. Rogelberg | Harvard Business Review

Charismatic candidates can make strong first impressions while hiding behaviors that damage teams and workplace culture. Hiring managers can reduce the risk by asking about failures, disagreements, accountability, collaboration, and how candidates have supported others, while using multiple interviewers and reference checks to identify interpersonal red flags.

Stefania Albanesi | CEPR VoxEU

Workplace inflexibility may be a major factor behind the stagnation of women’s labour force participation in the US. The article examines how remote work helped mothers’ employment rebound after the pandemic by easing the conflict between work and caregiving, while the return of strict in-office requirements has coincided with renewed employment declines for women, particularly mothers.

Like working from home? In Australia, it could become the law

Peter Saalfield | Fast Company

Australia’s state of Victoria is considering legislation that would give eligible employees the right to work from home two days a week, shifting remote work closer to a legal right rather than an employer-approved benefit. The proposal has sparked debate among businesses, lawmakers, and legal experts, while raising broader questions about whether governments or employers should ultimately decide where people work.
