norm, companies can provide technology
that's useful and usable for employees,
regardless of where they are. Aurangzeb
Khan of Jabra stated, " New architectures
and new technologies are enabling us
to deliver this [collaboration] experience
so that, whether you're at home or in the
office, you have a pretty seamless sense of
the virtual space. "
But simply having the right collaboration
platforms is not enough; a hybrid
workflow must be ingrained as part of the
office culture. This is an integral feature of a
company's productivity.
Analyzing Office
Culture for the Future
The pandemic changed the landscape of
office culture when the work-from-home
option became standard. As a result, many
employees now require an incentive - or,
at the least, a good reason - to return to

the office. Khan revealed that his company
conducted a survey that found that 63%
of millennials would change jobs based
on the availability of flexible work schedules.
The next question posed was how
company culture could encourage people
to return to the office.
As Sorrentino pointed out, most people
(or their employers) have now invested
in home-office technology. So, returning
to the office might not provide the same
productivity boost that it formerly did.
According to Simmen, attracting people
to the office environment is all about the
experience. She said, " If we are asking
people to come into the office, we need
to make sure that they have a very good
environment to come to. [That especially
means] one that promotes collaboration
and having a dedicated workspace. It's
making sure that everybody has a setup
that matches the home setup. "
The pandemic changed the landscape of
office culture. The work-from-home option
became standard, altering expectations.
Embracing the Gen-Z Workforce
Another major issue that emerged from
the pandemic is the significant differences
among the generations that compose the
workforce. As Sorrentino noted, whereas
millennials are adapting to remote work,
new hires are working through in-office
experiences for the first time. Senior-level
managers have a crucial role to play in
closing the generation gap and fostering
an environment that is engaging for all.
Khan stated that his company introduced
the concept of open-mic discussions,
during which employees could
come together and provide feedback on
workplace policies and culture.
Joshua Obusek of Compunetix suggested
that companies would be well served
