Why Hybrid Work Is Here to Stay and What the Research Says with Dr. Nicholas Bloom

Why Hybrid Work Is Here to Stay and What the Research Says with Dr. Nicholas Bloom

Everyone's arguing about remote vs. in-office. But what if we've been asking the wrong question all along? Dr. Nicholas Bloom, Professor of Economics at Stanford and the world's most cited expert on hybrid work, joins to set the record straight—and clear up the way his research is being misquoted everywhere. In this episode, he debunks the biggest myths about remote work, explains why hybrid work has become the go-to model for most Fortune 500 companies, and breaks down what's really behind Amazon and Jamie Dimon's return-to-office moves. We also get into why AI is more likely to replace fully remote roles than hybrid ones, what most people misunderstand about productivity from home, and the three-part formula every leader should follow to make hybrid work sustainable and effective.
