Flexibility beyond remote vs. in-office debates, Dennis Kozak, CEO, Ivanti
How can companies balance the need for oversight and in-person collaboration with the flexibility and autonomy that many employees grew accustomed to during the pandemic?
Ivanti CEO Dennis Kozak shares original research from Ivanti’s 2025 Technology at Work Report (ivanti.com/TechAtWork) to examine how company leadership needs to handle the new return-to-office pressure while still granting employees autonomy and flexibility over their work.
Dennis shares the striking statistic from the Ivanti research that, “48% of office workers have felt the pressure to return to the office in the past year” due to a push for greater productivity and control. Despite this, most office workers and IT professionals say they are more productive working outside of the traditional office.
In this interview, Dennis advises organizations that “t's time to move beyond the in-person vs. remote debate” and focus on providing flexible work to employees both in the office and virtually.
Some key points the video addresses:
Key Points:
Misaligned return-to-office (RTO) mandates: One in three office workers who faced return-to-office mandates reported a decline in morale and job satisfaction.
Signs of employee disengagement: 48% of employees admit to feeling resentment about their current jobs while 39% of employees admit to practicing "presenteeism.” Presenteeism occurs when employees show up to be in the office to be seen but are not necessarily productive while at work.
Providing employee autonomy and flexible work: Ivanti's research highlights that employees desire greater autonomy over their work lives, such as flexible hours and the ability to address personal matters.
