We've been work-from-home since the pandemic kicked off, so about 3.5 years now. They're working on renovating our office building (and shrinking the footprint we occupy in it), so we're going to be work-from-home until at least the spring, at which time we'll have to report a max of one time per week. Supposedly a remote work policy is under development as well, which is what I'm hoping for.
I will say, though, I went to an in-person strategy session for a club I'm in back in May. No zoom at all. What I had forgotten was the hallway conversations, the discussions over dinner, and being able to collaborate like that. It was much easier to talk to my counterparts in the club and see how they were addressing issues, for example. I softened my stance on the full work-from-home idea after that - for certain things, like brainstorming, an in-person meeting is hard to beat. But, our day-to-day work, including the quarterly meetings where we pass motions to revise the club bylaws - those can be (and still are) done virtually.
So you're saying that a few times per year is enough for in person networking? I agree with that.
I didn't say that.
Maybe once a year!
