Linkedin News – 6-26-23
* Managers want staff back in the office on Mondays, arguing it helps team-building and jumpstarts the week.
* Starting the week in the office brings energy and focus. It’s an opportunity to hit the ground running, prioritize tasks, and set the tone for the rest of the week.
* Being physically present helps me kickstart productivity, inspire creativity, and work with the team on how we are splitting tasks for the coming week.
* Being next to each other we can solve problems more quickly and be on the same page.
Creativity: When people are physically together, they brainstorm more ideas and generate more creative solutions. Encourage employees to safely take informal breaks and meet more formally to discuss challenges, new ideas and lessons learned.

I’m looking for a financially stable company I can grow with and stay a long time.
