Sir Cary Cooper Criticizes Office Return Push, Calls for Overhaul

As employers push for a return to the office, experts are calling for an overhaul of dysfunctional work culture. Sir Cary Cooper, a professor of organisational psychology and health at the University of Manchester’s Alliance Manchester Business School, who coined the term 'presenteeism,' criticized employers who force staff back to the office, labeling them as dinosaurs. He warned that such strict requirements risk driving away talented workers. The demand for work-from-home roles remains high despite the push for an office model.
