Meta (formerly named Facebook) CEO Mark Zuckerberg has recently urged employees to work from the office to increase efficiency. Additionally, he also said the company’s analysis shows the employees who worked from the office fared better than those who worked remotely.
Mark Zuckerberg said, “As part of our Year of Efficiency, we’re focusing on understanding this further and finding ways to make sure people build the necessary connections to work effectively.
“In the meantime, I encourage all of you to find more opportunities to work with your colleagues in person… “In-person time helps build relationships and get more done,” Mark Zuckerberg added.
Wipro Chairman Rishad Premji has said that remote work has “spoiled’ the IT industry, and that more employees should work from offices.
Rishad Premji said, “You can’t build that connectedness and intimacy, no matter how advanced technology gets.” “We are human beings.”
“I am a big believer that we should be coming back (to offices) in some shape or form,” Rishad Premji added.
“People should have the flexibility to work from home, but people should also be coming into organizations,” he stated.
