2020 has seen the world of work turn upside down - whoever thought that the office could become so redundant so quickly? We have had to completely shift the way we think, operate, move, interact, communicate. You name it, everything is waaaaay different.
As we start to think (in Australia anyway) about the possibility of returning to the office, it's important to make sure we are being really curious and asking the RIGHT questions, not just the simple ones that first spring to mind
One of the questions I'm hearing a lot is "how do we get people in and out of the office by putting no more than two people in the lift at once?"
Which is really a question of logistics.
But maybe a better question might be, "how can we make people safe and valued when they're coming back to work?"
This is a question about joy and fulfilment.
So look, over the next few months, no matter what part of the world you are working in, you're going to have to ask a bunch of different questions. It's really important to stay highly curious, keep your imagination on high, to make sure they're asking the right questions, and especially, keep them human-centered.
