There is a need for more thoughtful and profound discussions around work-related issues beyond the recent debates on remote and hybrid work arrangements. Jen Fisher, Deloitte’s human sustainability chief, points out that the challenges with work extend beyond just changing where and how we work. She believes that these are systemic problems that require time and effort to address. Fisher highlights that while technology has evolved, the fundamental work structure hasn’t changed much in a century. She suggests that leaders should reevaluate work issues from multiple angles, considering issues like returning to the office, work-life balance, and the impact on individuals. Her personal experience of overcoming cancer prompted her to rethink her approach to work. She shifted from being solely task-oriented to understanding her team members on a personal level. This shift led to her advocating for the well-being of individuals, organizations, climate, and society. Fisher points out that while well-intentioned efforts like yoga classes, meditation apps, and well-being programs are useful, they don’t fully address the root causes of stress and burnout. She advocates for more substantial changes in how work is structured and how employees are supported. Flexibility can help, but overwhelming workloads can still affect well-being, irrespective of where the work is done. Overall, there is a need for holistic change in work culture, emphasizing well-being, individual needs, and a reevaluation of success metrics.
