In the early days of the pandemic, Larry English was inundated with requests from business leaders eager to learn how to successfully pivot their operations to remote work. But in the last six months, all that’s changed.
“I don’t get asked about remote work at all,” says English, who’s the CEO of digital, business and technology consultancy Centric Consulting. “When the economy went south, [leadership] felt like they got some power back, and they could start bringing people back to the office — but they’ve largely left it up to HR to figure out what that means, and they haven’t given thoughtful consideration to what you need to make an office a good environment.”
