Three colleagues at the University of Delaware's Biden School of Public Policy & Administration consider: what will it be like when more and more of us find our way back to the office? This discussion explored the personal, team, and organizational dynamics that leaders should consider as their remote teams transition back to in-person work.

Troy Mix, Associate Director of the University of Delaware's Institute for Public Administration (IPA), hosted this March 17, 2021 conversation with Jennifer Daniels, a Ph.D. student in the Biden School and the past Associate Director of the University of Delaware’s Office of Equity and Inclusion, and Kathy Murphy, IPA Associate Director and Coordinator of the Conflict Resolution Program.

This episode continues the Future of Remote Work series presented through IPA’s First State Insights podcast. This series of articles and interviews seeks to shed light on remote work trends; explore implications for businesses, communities, and policymakers; and spur conversations aimed at making this emerging reality work well for Delaware.
