  • Remote work looks different for each employee. Ask them what would make them feel comfortable.

Key Quotes

“Don’t assume everyone is comfortable coming back to the office. Make sure you’re listening to their questions and concerns. Have that empathy.” – Charlie

“It needs to be labeled work from anywhere. It’s not work from home. We should be prepared for people to work from wherever they’re comfortable to be productive.” – Gary

“Your first team as the CIO is the executive team not the IT team. It’s very important that the CIO makes friends with the executive team and becomes their go-to guy. ” – Charlie
