They help companies build brands people actually want to work for, shape cultures from the ground up, and attract top talent who\u2019ll take businesses to the next level.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>You can work from anywhere, any time. So don\u2019t p*ss away your working 20s<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"body-text_body__n8RsW\">\n<p>I\u2019m a young man.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"body-text_body__n8RsW\">\n<p>24 to be exact. 6 foot 1 (kinda) and a load of fun. Spritely. I\u2019ve got my heart on my sleeve and the world in my eyes. But I occasionally turn 34 on Fridays when working from home. I get an extra 30 minutes in bed, a leisurely shower and my first coffee of the day in my dressing gown. I change my sheets, do my laundry and even go for a run at lunchtime if I\u2019m feeling particularly virtuous. I keep on top of my work tasks \u2014 writing some copy, fiddling with a deck and hopping on the odd call here and there. For the last 30 minutes of the working day, I stick my gearbox into neutral and coast into the weekend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"body-text_body__n8RsW\">\n<p>It\u2019s good fun. A cheeky Friday work-from-home day spent in between cups of tea and frilly pink slippers. Would I ever consider doing it everyday?\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"body-text_body__n8RsW\">\n<p><strong>Absolutely not.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"body-text_body__n8RsW\">\n<p>I have a confession to make. And you have to promise you won\u2019t tell my boss\u2026 I don\u2019t actually get that much done when I\u2019m working from home. I get distracted. I spend my time behaving like the trophy husband of a high-flying investment banker. I potter about the place, looking vaguely busy. Is this down to laziness? Perhaps. It\u2019s certainly partly to blame. But, I would actually point my finger at an evolutionary function that lies deep within most of us.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"body-text_body__n8RsW\">\n<p>We\u2019re social beasts. Even if we\u2019re not that wild about shooting the breeze with Tom, Dick or indeed Harry, there\u2019s an intoxicating unity that comes from working in close quarters with others towards a common goal. It\u2019s exciting to divide and conquer, isn\u2019t it?\u00a0<strong>And the truth is, that experience is harder to have when you\u2019re working from home.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"body-text_body__n8RsW\">\n<p>If I\u2019m not surrounded by people whose actions remind me of what this is all about, I find it easy to feel disenfranchised with my work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pull-quote_quote__G1xQm pull-quote_small__4IMwZ\">\n<p>There\u2019s so much distance between my keyboard and my colleagues, so when I get a \u2018thanks for this!\u2019 it\u2019s difficult to feel like I\u2019ve made an impact beyond those pixels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"body-text_body__n8RsW\">\n<p>Or even worse, when I receive a \u2018<em>not too sure this line works<\/em>\u2019 from someone senior in the company. It\u2019s almost impossible for me to not become defensive, whilst also feeling inadequate. Why did it not work? Is that your opinion, or do you have some rationale there? Am I really bad at this?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"body-text_body__n8RsW\">\n<p>That\u2019s the beauty of being in an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/work.life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">office space<\/a>. These virtual comments can be quickly followed up by in real life conversations.\u00a0<strong>Real feedback. Real opportunity<\/strong>\u00a0to get to understand one another and get better at your craft. You allow yourself to have the wonderful experience of meeting someone, thinking about them one way and then having your perception magnificently shifted. You get to see the senior leadership have a slightly awkward one- is-going-for-a-handshake-but-the-other-is-going-for-a-fistbump interaction, making them instantly human in front of your very eyes. You get to experience the feeling of everyone, for no particular reason, taking their headphones off to chat about nothing of consequence. Inside jokes about Diet Cokes. \u2018What you got for lunch today?\u2019 Excruciating renditions of Happy Birthday which would only sound appropriate in an abattoir.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"in-line-media_inLineMedia__3w6HY undefined\">\n<div class=\"media_media__1TwgY\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"media_media__1TwgY aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.datocms-assets.com\/105513\/1734715401-c.jpg\" alt=\"Young professionals collaborating in an office environment, enhancing career growth\" width=\"619\" height=\"413\" data-nimg=\"fill\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pull-quote_quote__G1xQm\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When you dive into these things head first, you allow yourself the opportunity to feel part of a community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"body-text_body__n8RsW\">\n<p>And when you feel like you\u2019re part of a team, you end up wanting your team to win. You have a vested interest in whatever arrives at, and leaves your desk. You begin to operate with care, almost by accident. That\u2019s when you really start to see yourself improve. Your role is a muscle, and the more you exercise it the stronger it becomes. For someone towards the start of their career \u2014 when the progress you can make in 6 months is staggering \u2014 the results you see in terms of your improvement make everything feel worthwhile.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"body-text_body__n8RsW\">\n<p>There\u2019s so much you miss out on by not being in the office \u2014 especially when you\u2019re young. And it goes well beyond a drink on a Thursday. Unless you have a child-like dog, or a dog-like child at home (or an actually good excuse) then I see no reason why you wouldn\u2019t go in. Sure, remote working is an easy option, but so\u2019s a meal deal for lunch. Just because you\u00a0<em>can\u00a0<\/em>do your work that way, doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s the best for you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"body-text_body__n8RsW\">\n<p>Put it this way \u2014 would you rather only Zoom quiz or pub quiz for the rest of your 20s?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wiser is redefining employer branding and early talent hiring to make work more than just a job.
