The Fall of The 5 Day Workweek with Brian Elliott

Host Frank Cottle and Brian Elliott, a leadership advisor with extensive experience at Google and Slack, discuss the evolving future of work. He emphasizes the significant impact of technology and shifting demographics, particularly the presence of four generations in the workforce, on workplace dynamics. Elliott argues that embracing flexibility, rather than imposing rigid return-to-office mandates, is crucial for attracting and retaining talent, particularly among younger generations like Gen Z who prioritize purpose and a balance of in-person and remote work. The conversation highlights the need for companies to re-evaluate their office spaces and investment strategies to create more efficient and engaging work environments that support diverse working styles and team structures.
