From the Flexperts | Team Agreements: An Essential Foundation for a Flexible, High-Performing Team
Picture a future where unproductive meetings disappear, and daily interruptions become a distant memory, freeing you to hone in on focused work. Sounds like a dream, right? Thanks to team agreements, it’s more possible than you might think.
Team agreements establish norms, accepted behaviors, and effective working methods to support distributed teams. Our latest Flexpert, Gwen Stirling-Wilkie, dives into team agreements, why they’re game changers for teams, and the three essential steps to creating your own.

Coming March 19: Financial Services Deep Dive
We’re more than four years past the start of COVID, and we still see a pronounced push and pull between workers and employers on flexible work. Nowhere is that more center stage than in Financial Services.
JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Deutsche Bank have all made headlines in recent months for strong stances on return to office and enforcement of policies. Is that an indication of a steady drumbeat back toward full time in office work, or are the firms less prominently in the headlines maintaining hybrid work arrangements?
In this report we’ll explore trends in Financial Services as a whole, as well as dive into particular segments of interest like Banks. We’ll analyze 777 companies that collectively employ more than nine million people to understand the trends over the last year and compare sector-by-sector differences.
