So, WYW is officially over starting September 1. Communication to be sent July 8th. B Brown sent out the following to "leaders" today.
Leaders,
Tomorrow I will announce that we will begin to sunset Work Your Way starting in September, with most worldwide non-production employees expected to work from the office four days a week. I am providing this confidential advance notice to help you prepare for communications with your team
I believe our ability to engage, collaborate and innovate is stronger in person. It's been my practice to work in the office except when I'm traveling on business, and to be as visible as possible with employees when I'm in the office. The value of working in the office is that it allows leaders to demonstrate our performance culture, and to reinforce priorities and focus areas in real-time, with speed and urgency, throughout the organization. It's my hope and expectation that you, too, will model this same behavior.
This change builds upon the momentum and energy created by the implementation of Collaboration Days and will continue to help us embed 3M excellence across our global enterprise. I'm counting on your continued leadership and commitment as we work to accelerate our performance improvement journey across 3M.
Thank you,
Bill
