How Office Culture Changed in the Pandemic

By Te-Ping Chen | September 7, 2021

Topics: Leadership, Corporate Culture And Changes, Culture Change, Business Culture, Covid

Summary: A year and a half into the pandemic, many workers have yet to return to offices. But plenty others have been coming in since the early days of Covid-19and they have much to say about what to expect. Some workers returned because their job descriptions required it, others because their bosses feared company culture would erode if they didn't. Some never left. Many say they have learned to live with constant uncertainty as they navigate shifting safety protocols, sudden quarantines, and occasional outbreaks. Despite the fits and starts, they say their experience is evidence that offices can function amid Covid-19 risks. In some cases, they say pandemic office life has brought them and their colleagues closer.

Classroom Application: This article provides faculty and students with an opportunity to analyze and discuss leadership challenges associated with a changed....and still changing.....office culture due to the pandemic.

Questions:

• Of all the issues raised in the article, which do you think will be the most difficult leadership challenge over the coming year and why?
• After having read Chapter 3 (business and environment), What are some things you would do as a leader to promote/protect corporate culture in the face of what appears to be a much more flexible remote work culture over the coming year?
