In our passion for the digital culture we often lose touch with the merits of face-to-face interaction.

As we line up “for” or “against” Mayer’s edict, let us not forget that the future of work will and should embrace both camps. The beauty of the new way to work is flexibility.Organizations can mix on-premise and remote workers in a way that specifically fits their culture and organizational goals. A hybrid work model has the ability to make companies even stronger by affording the benefits of a collective, collaborative culture while also leveraging the agility and specialized expertise of remote workers. This choice also benefits workers. Not everyone flourishes as a full time remote worker; some prefer the camaraderie and structure of on-site work. Only time will tell if Yahoo! has made the right decision, but the issues raised should be be examined by all organizations. The future demands that you have the ability to collaborate, innovate and preserve a strong company culture in and out of the office.
