John Stankey, CEO of AT&T, insists on strict in-person work policies amid employee frustration and declining engagement scores. He emphasizes the company’s shift towards a market-based culture that rewards capability, contribution, and commitment. Stankey addresses employees resistant to changes, indicating those needing remote work options may struggle to align with company priorities. AT&T's consolidation into fewer hub offices aims to foster collaboration and career development, which Stankey defends as necessary for success in dynamic markets.
We have consciously shifted away from some of these elements and towards a more market-based culture - focused on rewarding capability, contribution and commitment.
If a self-directed, virtual, or hybrid work schedule is essential for you to manage your career aspirations and life challenges, you will have a difficult time aligning your priorities with those of the company.
Our shift to hub locations was a pivotal step to more effectively achieve this goal. Concentrations of employees enables the teamwork, mentorship, and visibility that, when combined with performance and contribution, can better equip you to advance your career.
