As leaders kick off 2026, return-to-office mandates are back in the spotlight—but the real issue isn’t location. In this episode of ExecutiveEDGE, we explore what workplace policies reveal about trust, transparency, and company culture.

We also break down how Avnet is scaling AI responsibly through a governance-first approach—improving supply chain visibility, forecasting accuracy, and resilience while keeping people at the center of transformation.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What workforce data says about remote and hybrid work

• Why return-to-office mandates often test culture more than productivity

• How governance enables AI to scale beyond pilots

• Why training and change management drive AI ROI
