It has the currency of an in-depth newspaper article with the depth of a human resources expert.\"\" (Harvey Schachter, \"The Best Business Books of 2021,\" The Globe and Mail) \"\"The pandemic, economic crisis and social upheaval we've experienced taught us many things about adaptation, resilience, and empathy. It also taught us that the ways in which we have worked, with whom, and where are not defaults. With significant numbers of workers yearning for, and often opting for, a different way to blend work and personal lives, we need to rethink the work world and the 'contract' between workers and employers. That is not an easy task; the companies that get this new hybrid, evolving, flexible work world right will have a better shot at attracting and retaining the talent that gives them the competitive advantage they need. Cappelli's new book lays out the framework for exploring what this brave (and perhaps better) new world might be; it should be required reading.\"\" (Rebecca L Ray, Ph.D. Executive Vice President, Human Capital, The Conference Board)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003eGLOBE \u0026amp; MAIL \u003c\/i\u003eBEST BUSINESS BOOK OF 2021\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eNow with an updated introduction and a new afterword by the author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The COVID-19 pandemic forced an unprecedented experiment that reshaped white-collar work and turned remote work into a kind of \"new normal.\" A little over a year into the pandemic, with vaccines more widely available, employers began to think about bringing employees back to the office. Both employers and employees had great trepidation about what the future held.\u003cbr\u003e Into this fraught moment stepped Wharton professor Peter Cappelli with \u003ci\u003eThe Future of the Office\u003c\/i\u003e, which provided employers and employees with guidance as they faced urgent decisions with limited information. Cappelli's insights have proven remarkably prophetic and provide valuable insights for those wrestling with these issues today.\u003cbr\u003e In an updated introduction, Cappelli reminds readers where we were at that historical inflection point and what was at stake. He offers insight into what today's readers can take away from the book and why the questions raised a year into the pandemic still apply today.\u003cbr\u003e In an all-new afterword, Cappelli shares what we have learned since the book first published. Employers, he says, have failed to grapple with the hardest challenges about remote work and remain in a state of indecision, often prioritizing financial results over employee well-being. Employees want to keep remote work in the mix, but evidence shows that these arrangements are not working as well as the in-person alternative.He offers insights that have the potential to positively transform the way we work. But he cautions that the challenges—and our questions about what works—are sure to linger for a long time.\u003cbr\u003e Whether you're an executive crafting company policy, a manager leading hybrid teams, or an employee navigating this shifting landscape, \u003ci\u003eThe Future of the Office\u003c\/i\u003e provides a unique lens for understanding the pandemic's impact on work and the strategic choices that lie ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wharton School Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52676666687768,"sku":"9781613631911","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-future-of-the-office-with-a-new-afterword-by-the-author-work-from-home-remote-work-and-the-hard-choices-we-all-face-paperback-softback-9781613631911","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
