A mass return to the office is being hailed as the proverbial glue that holds a business culture together. Jon and Adam totally disagree and site this is a paradigm born from fear and the desire to control, partially due to the prevailing financial climate. Of course, there could be more insidious reasons, as we wrote about in our recent blog: Fear and Loathing in Las Boardroom - https://www.intheoffice.io/articles-news/fear-and-loathing-in-las-boardroom

A culture lives and grows inside everyone and can be organically grown and multiplied. But it needs strong leadership and investment, at all levels, holding to those values.
Though a place is important for people to evolve elements of a culture, and can be a 'spiritual home' and used for necessary practical purposes, if emanating from the vision and mission that culture can be spread far and wide - many remote-only organisations thrive post pandemic.
The key is creating a safe environment for the culture to grow from led and enabled from the top.
