I'm going to know if you're doing your job by the number of people you hire or you don't. And my employees, I feel one of the things they, you know, we do surveys a lot. Like, what do you like about being here? Like what's working and what's not working.
And I think it's like, if you give your team flexibility, they're going to feel trusted and people who feel trusted want to do well for you because they want to be around you. So I think flexibility in terms of like, yeah, the hours you work or like what you need.
Like maybe I want to pick my kids up every day at three, but then I'm going to do a little work later in the evening because that works for me. Or I'm not going to work at all on Wednesday because I want to go do something, but I'll work a little bit on Sunday. So I think there's like, trust your team to get the job done and they will, as opposed to sort of setting rigid regulations.
The companies that set those strict rules, I find like nobody's going to stay.
I have found no success, like key indicators that are any different if someone's in an office versus not. Like, I think there are some industries where it's very useful to be at a table. Like, you know, if you're architects or review it, like anything you can do in person, you can do on a computer really.
But you know, like my husband, for instance, he's a civil engineer and he loves, he's like, I miss the, everyone in the meeting on the, looking at the same piece of paper on the same table. He likes that kind of thing. So hybrid is great for him. But for me, there's no difference.
And so I think it's – for all it shows to me, and, like, this is just my personal opinion, maybe it's not popular, but I think it just shows that you don't trust your people to get their job done.
Yep.
Like, I feel like – Like from a culture – From a culture standpoint.
And you never see each other. Yeah. Look, it's like you hear companies like when they host their town halls or their big Yeah. That's why I think you're right that why most companies have landed on hybrid because people want both. So they want the ability to like go to an appointment on Wednesday and work from home, but also be able to go into the office on Thursday and see their team.
So I think that's probably why most of our clients have landed in that space because the community field does come back. Kind of depends who you are. So I've been remote since like... way before COVID.
Because I don't like going into an office, but that's just my personal opinion.
This might not be the right place for you. If that, that, that. Yeah, I hear you.
It is softer.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think there's definitely a... Mindfulness? I don't know what the right word is. That wasn't there before in a certain way. I don't think mindfulness is the right word.
Yeah, I'm trying to think of the right word.
But what I will say, I agree and I disagree with you. I think like the piece, you can still set, I need XXXXX accomplished by this time. It just… How you get there, like it doesn't… Right.
I think like, you know, if you can't work on Friday because of what your life looks like, but you're still going to hit your deadline, then I don't really care. So I do think… I kind of think I'm a balance of how you're feeling and how I like… Yeah.
Well, you know you're going to do what's going to work for you.
