The Rx for Success
How to get employees back to the office
By Bob Tullio, Contributing Editor
OVER THE PAST MONTH, I HAVE
spoken to several operators and facility
managers to get a handle on the
direction of the workplace. Opinions
vary and one new catchphrase
has emerged when referring to the
percentage of employees who will
ultimately return to the office: 70% is
the new 100%.
One note of encouragement for
operators: there are many employers
out there who want as many people
back in the office as possible. When an
operator is serving that type of client,
they need to do what they can to support
the " get-them-back " effort, even

if that means moving out of the typical
operator's comfort zone.
QUITE THE NEW HQ
Andrew Barrett-Weiss is a senior
operations executive at GoodRx,
healthcare company based in Santa
Monica, CA. His title - Director of
Workplace Experience and Build Out
the New HQ Guy - is a dead giveaway
of how creative the work environment
is at Good Rx, where they are determined
to bring back employees.
Barrett-Weiss explained the
thought process: " If you create an
environment that people want to come
back to, they will come. Will it be a
100%? No, it's not going to be a 100%.
What we are finding is that some
people want to be here every day and
there are some people who want to be
here three or four days a week, and
there are some people never want to
set foot in an office again. "
Barrett-Weiss explained the challenge
like this: " If all your work is
execution, you can probably do it at
home. If your work is ideation, new
idea development, creation of new
programs and interaction, you must
be in the office most of the time. "
