Work Environment Recalibration Post-Pandemic

In the aftermath of the pandemic, there is a shift towards recalibrating work environments. Larger companies are encouraging in-person connections, with some even requiring employees to return to the office in a hybrid setup. This move is viewed positively by many, especially early-career professionals, as it fosters learning experiences, enhances satisfaction through connections, and helps rebuild the sense of community that remote work had deprived.

And for the employees, this means having to manage up, not waiting for your efforts to be recognized, and identifying the actions that can be taken to initiate these conversations with sponsors, peers, managers, and mentors.
