For those of us who work/worked under the general umbrella of service provision (human services, therapeutic and medical services, educational services, etc) the pandemic hybrid work pivots were extremely challenging. The expectation of those service recipients was that the services would remain intact, yet many of the organizations did not have the technical infrastructure and/or personnel who had the technical knowledge to do their work remotely or provide necessary in person assistance. And “time flexibility” has always been tied into accommodating the schedules of those service recipients.
For the service provision entities (like the one I recently retired from) that are also tied to governmental oversight or regulation, changes are historically minute and incremental due to the layers of approval required. Yet many of us would welcome innovative changes within a system that advocates for our personal happiness at the same level that we try to advocate for those service recipients we work with.
