Show Notes

In today’s episode:

  • A new study shows that most people are willing to take up to a 25% pay cut if they're able to work from home.
  • More flexibility creates more options for employees; they're more likely to stick around. This works especially well for working mothers.
  • Return-to-office mandates to "save" a company's culture is a result of mistrust or bad management. It's an antiquated view of work, and one that leads to worse results.


CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs where we dissect the week's biggest news, unpack hot-button workplace trends, and bring you exclusive interviews with leaders who leverage culture to drive real business results.

John Frehse, Global Head of Labor Strategies at Ankura, joins Jessica every week to discuss the latest news in labor, employment, and workplace culture by asking each other the question: 'What Are You Paying Attention To Now?'
