Greetings Decision maker,
Have you ever wondered why the buzz around workplace flexibility seems to miss the mark for frontline workers? It’s a crucial question, especially in a post-pandemic world where “flexibility” has become a golden word in the corporate vocabulary. But for the 58% of American workers who are frontline and cannot work remotely, the pandemic era didn’t usher in Zoom meetings or home offices. Instead, these essential workers, pivotal in maintaining the cogs of our economy and society, faced an unchanged physical presence at their workplaces.
However, despite the concerns by leaders, the majority of these on-site workers don’t seem to harbor jealousy towards their home-based colleagues. Surprisingly, only 33% would consider leaving their current jobs for the allure of remote work, marking a decline from 38% last year. If the allure of remote work isn’t as strong among frontline workers, what then do they prioritize? Frontline workers place a higher value on day-to-day flexibility over the location of their work. This preference spectrum includes options such as selecting workdays, enjoying more PTO, and the potential for a four-day workweek.

It’s the season for holiday cheer and greeting cards! I try to send greeting cards to folks who made a difference in my life over the last year. It’s a nice way to celebrate the occasion and express my thanks to them. But I also like to send cards to folks in whose life I made a difference. If you think I made a positive impact on your life over the last year - through my writing, consulting, training, or any other areas of my work - let me know your address, and I would gladly send you a card.
