“Going back to the office is, on the one hand, a challenge for organizations that have to define the return from the offices (under what conditions, when, how much) and that is different by industry. But at the same time it is an opportunity to find moments of exchange that benefit companies and collaborators”, says Matiana Behrends, Director of Human Capital at Grant Thornton Argentina.

Grant Thornton's survey also delved into the effects of the post Qatar World Cup and inquired about what employees learned by watching and doing sports and then they were able to apply in their jobs. 65% thought that doing sports taught them to work as a team, a requirement of many positions today. For their part, 17% indicated that it contributed to having a greater tolerance to frustration, 11% continuous learning and 8% resilience.

“This World Cup was special for the organizations, not only because of the obvious joy it was, but also because this team in particular demonstrated values ​​of teamwork, resilience, focus, etc. that are desired to be replicated within our teams. Having a positive example in a year that was difficult for companies, somehow, is contagious”, adds Behrends.
