Title The double standard of the return-to-office Media name/outlet BBC Worklife Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 7/06/22 Description While Sneha’s bosses have claimed a lack of space is keeping them home, others might say they don’t need to come into the office as they are doing different, more high-level work. “They’ll say they don't need to see customers, clients or patients because they are senior, and they look at strategy and policy [instead],” says Cary Cooper, a professor of organisational psychology and health at Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, UK.“But it's not leading by example, is it?”
There is also the possibility that some managers see choosing to work from home as a benefit of seniority that their reports don’t share. “Some bosses believe they have the right given that they’re in a leadership role,” says Cooper. “That entitles them to decide for themselves what they do and what other people do.”URL https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20220602-the-double-standard-of-the-return-to-office?ocid=global_worklife_rss Persons Cary Cooper
