Speaker (Clegg) addresses common question about what work will look like in the future, emphasizing that nobody can predict it with certainty. The speaker asserts that flexibility (e.g., easier work-from-home practices) is likely here to stay, while hybrid work arrangements and strategies to bring employees back to the office remain uncertain. The speaker predicts continued employer uncertainty through 2023.

So this is one of the most common questions I'm getting, which is people still don't know what work is gonna look like in the future. And by the way, nobody knows. And anybody who's making any grand prediction of what it's gonna be like, they don't know either. The only thing that we do know that I think I can confidently say is here to stay is flexibility is here to stay. For example, we used to have to ask permission to work from home next Thursday because my kid's gonna be home. Now we can simply send an email in the morning going, hey, I'm working from home today, you know, and everybody will be fine with it. We got used to that. But in terms of what hybrid work looks like or how we get people to come back to work if they don't want to come back, that is still a big unknown. The dust is still in the sky. I think, unfortunately for employers, 2023 is still going to have a little bit of uncertainty, and we're going to just have to fumble through it for probably another year.
