Why were we living in this rat race of commuting, of racing out of the door to pick up our kids, of presentism, trying to prove that by being in the office for longer hours we were somehow achieving more? Why were we spending more time with our colleagues than with our families? Why not get a dog and get outside for our daily exercise? Why not take up that hobby with the two hours that would normally be spent on the packed 18.03 out of Euston? Why not indeed?

And then when the ‘return to office’ plans started to emerge different businesses had different approaches. Some said, ‘Work where you like – we trust you’, some said, ‘We’d like you back in the office because we can see the benefits of collaboration, but you can choose what works’, and others said, ‘We want you back in, we want to see you, we want you back in on these days, no matter what’.

And suddenly there was a realisation that perhaps we didn’t all want to work how our organisations were telling us to work. Perhaps we didn’t want to go back. Perhaps we wanted to go forward with some new way.

Certainly, the reflection time that the last two years have provided has given many of us space to think, time to breathe. Time to wake up and smell the coffee. Time to focus on what we really want in life and from work.

We have seen how a hybrid, more flexible approach to work can be. We’ve seen it, we’ve lived it and many of us have liked it. Whatever your reason for looking for a job you really want, there are choices out there. There are more choices than before – as businesses start to rework their recruitment strategies, look at their benefits packages and focus on culture as a major driver for retention.
